Export agency tariffs in Indonesia vary significantly depending on the product category. For electronics, the tariff rate generally ranges from 5% to 15%. For example, communication devices like mobile phones may have tariffs around 10%, while computer accessories may range from 5% to 8%. For textiles, tariffs typically range from 5% to 20%. Cotton garments may have tariffs around 15%, while silk products may range from 10% to 15%.
Agency exports themselves have no special considerations in tariff calculation. Tariffs are primarily calculated based on the rates set by Indonesian customs for each product category, usually as follows: Tariff amount = Declared value of goods × Tariff rate. Note that Indonesian customs determines the applicable rate based on the HS code of the goods, so accurate classification and clarification of HS codes are crucial.

In addition to tariffs, there may be other taxes, such as VAT. The VAT for electronics is generally around 10%, and textiles are similar. For agency exports, confirm with the agency about the responsibility and calculation methods for these taxes.

When calculating tariffs, the declared value of goods must be reasonable and not misreported. If Indonesian customs finds discrepancies, it may result in heavy fines and disrupt the export process.

For electronics involving intellectual property certifications, while this doesn’t directly affect tariffs, relevant proof must be provided during customs clearance; otherwise, it may delay cargo release.
