PROHIBITED AND RESTRICTED GOODS

Firearms, ammunitions and explosives, obscene literature, photographs and films, politically “undesirable” literature, foodstuffs and alcohol, toy guns and air guns, motor vehicles, books of a political or religious nature, which may be offensive to Indonesia, Indonesians or Islam may be refused entry

CUSTOMS REGULATIONS

A physical examination of cargo by customs is required. Should prohibited articles be found (see above), should new items be found (see customs regulations below) or should the shipper’s documentation be inadequate, additional charges will be applied. These charges will be invoiced to the shipper and collected prior to delivery.

HOUSEHOLD GOODS (“HHG”)

Only used household goods are permitted duty free entry. Any items in original factory cartons are classified as new and may be dutiable. Only one each of the major household appliances or electronics is allowed. Only a reasonable number of CD’s, DVD’s, VCD’s, Video Tapes or Laser Discs are allowed. However, these items are subject to censorship and applicable fees.

DOCUMENTATION

A residence card (KITAS) and work permit (IKTA) must be issued and valid for a minimum of 52 weeks for duty free shipment. Documentation is required for the shipper/consignee only.

ARRIVAL LIMITS

Used HHG must arrive in Indonesia within 6 months of the residence card (KITAS) issue date.

AUTOMOBILES

Car and motorcycle imports are prohibited with the exception of those for shippers with full diplomatic status.

PETS

An import license is required to import a pet. Pets are also subject to customs duties and taxes. The importer of a pet does not require a work permit or residence card (KITAS). Please fax us for further details.

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DUTY FREE IMPORTS

One shipment by air or by sea. However, if there is an air and sea shipment we can clear both as duty free, providing the air shipment is received and cleared first. This is because customs stamp the importers passport at the sea terminal but not at the air terminal.

ORIGIN & DOOR TO DOOR RATES

Due to extreme fluctuations in density caused by rattan furniture, wicker baskets etc. it has become impossible to quote fixed origin rates. It is also extremely risky for our overseas correspondences to attempt to construct door-to-port rates according to density. Please fax us for details.

RETURNING INDONESIAN NATIONALS

The following are customs needs on a duty free basis for shipment to Indonesia.
Original Passport
Letter from the Indonesian Embassy in host country stating the clients arrival date in country, the date of return to Indonesia and that your shipper is bringing a shipment of household goods back to Indonesia.
Assignment and re-assignment letter – normally provided by the employer or a letter from school/university
A packing list certified by the Indonesian Embassy at point of origin.
For shipments to be free of duty, your shipper has to have been overseas for a minimum of 12 months.

Please note that a returning Indonesian citizen complying with the above documentation is entitled to one duty free shipment by sea or by air. However, if there is an air and sea shipment we can clear both as duty free, providing the air shipment is received and cleared first and providing both shipments have complied with all required documentation at origin as listed above.

The Best Overseas Moving Companies

There are many overseas moving companies who claim to be the best mover and best relocation company in the country. Of course this cannot be true because then, all the international shipping companies would be the best.

To help determine which overseas moving company is right for you, Orbit International Moving Logistics Ltd has gathered some vital points for you to consider.

The best tip – a recommendation from a friend.
Research the overseas moving companies you are considering. Check if they are licensed to export and import.
Make sure that you are performing an equal comparison between the quotes of the various companies. You compare international relocation rates from the overseas moving companies based on shipping an equal volume of goods and contracting the same exact shipping service on the same dates. Pay special attention to the “EXCLUDES” of each quote to insure that you are not overlooking any hidden fees.
Check the overseas moving company’s referrals and reputation. Ask each company for testimonials from past clients. A reputable overseas moving company should have some for you to review.
Visit the physical office of the overseas moving company you are considering. Never trust an international moving company without a physical address!. In this day and age anyone can have an office in their basement.
Make sure that the overseas shipping company you choose has reputable overseas forwarding agents who can assist you in the same manner that you are getting from the company moving you from Canada.
