Chocolate confectionery in blocks, slabs, or bars is a popular product made from cocoa and sugar, often used in desserts and snacks. This category includes various types of chocolate products that are consumed directly or used as ingredients in other food applications. The import of chocolate confectionery in blocks into Indonesia is subject to a BM MFN (import duty) of 15.00%, a VAT (Value Added Tax) of 12.00%, and no PPH (income tax) applies for API or non-API. Special permits are not required, and commercial imports must be facilitated by a licensed consignee.
Bea Masuk (BM MFN)
Applied on the CIF value of goods. This is the base customs duty set by Indonesia Ministry of Finance. May be reduced to 0% under a Free Trade Agreement.
Pajak Pertambahan Nilai (PPN)
Applied on the taxable base (CIF + import duty). Indonesia uses a special calculation: the tax base is adjusted to 11/12 of the import value before applying the 12% rate.
Pajak Penghasilan (PPH)
Advance income tax collected at import. Rate depends on whether the importer holds an API license: 2.5% with license, 7.5% without. Using an Importer of Record qualifies for the lower rate.
