Asian Tigers Indonesia has advised its supply chain of new customs regulations affecting household goods shipments that will be introduced by the Indonesian Ministry of Finance at the end of this month.
In a letter to agents and partners, the company said the new rules (PMK no.25/2025), which come into force on 27 June, require every box to be labelled, with information including a description of the items, their condition, quantity and estimated value.
They also require all Indonesian citizens returning to the country to register through an online portal before leaving their country of residence, while foreign nationals wishing to import household goods into the country must hold a valid work visa, as well as an IMTA work permit.
Personal items must be delivered within three months of a person arriving into Indonesia. Anything arriving after this time will be treated as general imports and subject to standard customs clearance procedures.
Asian Tigers said it is working ‘to gain further clarification on how the new regulation will be implemented in practice’.
