Indonesia can conduct transshipment trade. It has many free trade areas. Conducting transshipment trade within these areas can enjoy tax incentives, reduce costs, and increase profit margins. However, it should be noted that the Indonesian customs conduct relatively strict inspections on goods, and the goods information must be accurate and error-free.

Yes, it can be done. The local market in Indonesia is also relatively large. If the goods are temporarily overstocked during transshipment, a part of them can be appropriately sold locally. However, one should pay attention to the fluctuations of the Indonesian currency exchange rate, which may affect the trade earnings.
