Fermented Cocoa Beans

Fermented cocoa products are derived from cocoa beans that have undergone fermentation, a process essential for developing flavor and aroma. These products are primarily used in the food industry, particularly in chocolate manufacturing and cocoa processing. They are also utilized in various culinary applications. Importing fermented cocoa products into Indonesia incurs a BM MFN (import duty) of 5.00%, a VAT (Value Added Tax) of 12.00%, and a PPH (income tax) of 2.50% for API (registered importers) or 7.50% for non-API. Special permits are not required, but commercial imports must be handled by a licensed consignee in Indonesia.
