Government Issued New Regulation on Rush Handling of Imported Goods

"The process then involves the examination of prohibition and restriction regulations through the Indonesia National Single Window (INSW)/service computer system (SKP)/Customs Official, and the determination of goods categories through the service computer system," he remarked.

He added, "For rush handling requests, the importer submits a guarantee to the Head of the Customs Office or the designated Customs Official, and a rush handling registration number is issued.

Following this, documents are reviewed, and physical inspections are selectively conducted based on risk management, culminating in the issuance of the Goods Release Approval Letter.

Moreover, Ginanjar also mentioned that the approval for the release of these 13 types of goods is issued within a maximum of two hours from the receipt of a complete application.

Meanwhile, for other goods requiring approval from the Head of the Customs Office or designated Customs Official, the release approval is issued within a maximum of five hours from the receipt of a complete application.
