The process is using electronical methods to reduce the paperwork and interactions between the customs and the importer:

1. The Importer and the Exporter are asked to provide their part of the Customs Declaration to the corresponding Customs Office.
2. All the documents detailed previously must be gathered in a file and sent to the Customs Office.
3. The Importer will pay the duties and taxes (if existing) to the customs, based on his self-assessment.
4. The customs official will verify is the customs declaration and that the duties and taxes are entirely given.
5. If everything is concordant with the regulation, the release letter will be issued. It is called the “surat pemberitahuan pengeluaran barang” (SPPB). Then the goods will be freed from custody and delivered to the importer.
6. If it isn’t concordant, the Customs declaration will be canceled, and both the exporter and importer will have to revise and restart the process.
