This blog will discuss the main practices to help the sender avoid general obstacles that often cause the package to be delayed when going through the clearance process. By complying with things that can and should not be done,
You can speed up shipping and minimize possible unwanted delays, keep your logistics smooth and your shipping on time.
1. Understand customs rules
β
Do: It is very important to know the policies and regulations of customs in the country where you send to and from Indonesia.
This includes understanding import duty, tax, prohibited goods, and documentation needed. Accurate knowledge can help ensure compliance and prevent delays.
β Avoid: Don't assume that customs rules are the same throughout the world. Each country has its own regulations that can vary significantly.
Making assumptions based on experience with one country can cause mistakes and delays in another country. Always verify special regulations for each purpose to avoid compliance problems during the clearance process.
2. Prepare delivery documents
β
Do: Make sure to prepare and include all necessary export documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin. These documents must accurately reflect all the details of your shipment to avoid differences with actual shipments.
β Avoid: Don't ignore the importance of reviewing your shipping documents for accuracy and completeness. Errors or negligence can cause delay, fines, or even confiscation of your shipment. Taking time to re -check each detail can save you from big problems when your goods go through the clearance process.
3.
Accurate and detailed product description
β
Do: Make sure each item in your shipment is explained in detail, including materials, purpose of use, and their home country. This information helps the Customs and Excise Authority understand the imported goods and facilitate the clearance process.
β Avoid: Avoid using an unclear or wrong description for your product. Inaccurate descriptions can cause further examination from the authorities, which ultimately slow down the clearance process.
4. Assessment Code and Tariff
β
Do: Use the correct HS code and state the actual value of goods to ensure compliance with Customs and Excise regulations. It also ensures that you pay the appropriate tariffs and avoid complications during the clearance process.
β Avoid: Don't try to reduce the value of goods (under value) or categorize the HS code incorrectly to avoid taxes. This can cause a penalty and even confiscation of your goods.
5. Packaging and labeling
β
Do: Make sure your shipment is packaged safely and clearly labeled.
This helps prevent damage during transit and speed up the cleaning process by the Customs and Excise Authority.
β Avoid: Do not ignore the prevailing packaging and labeling standards. Inappropriate packaging or unclear labels can cause delays or even confiscation of your goods.
6. Goods that are prohibited and limited
β
Do: Always check whether the items you send are permitted in the destination country. Make sure you have all the necessary permits before sending goods that are included in the limited category.
β Avoid: Do not send prohibited items or items that require permission without the right document. This can cause legal consequences,
including fines or confiscation of goods.
