Indonesian Customs Documents
Indonesia operates 13 distinct customs-declaration forms — each for a specific customs route (standard import, bonded warehouse, Free Trade Zone, Special Economic Zone). Most shippers only ever encounter one or two. This guide explains each: when it's filed, by whom, and what duty/tax it triggers.
For standard commercial imports into Indonesia, only BC 2.0 (PIB) applies. Roughly 90% of importers will never see any other form on this list. The rest apply when your goods route through a bonded warehouse (PLB / KB), the Batam FTZ, or a Special Economic Zone (KEK).
You don't have to learn any of this yourself
