Indonesian Customs Implements Red, Yellow, Green Light Supervision for Imports


 

Jakarta, Indonesia – Indonesian Customs has introduced a new system categorizing imported goods into red, yellow, and green light levels of supervision. The red light period, marking the highest level of inspection, typically occurs from December to March, but surprise checks are also possible.

During this period, Customs collaborates with other law enforcement to rigorously check imports, aiming to protect local businesses from competition from imported goods. Imports may face extended detention and complex clearance procedures, often requiring additional documents and incurring extra costs.

The policy affects a wide range of products, including textiles, electronics, ceramics, cosmetics, and food, posing challenges for importers but opportunities for domestic producers. Importers should stay informed and prepared to navigate these changes.
