So far, the Indonesian authorities have not disclosed any information about the postponement of the operation.

 Southeast Asia E-commerce Watch has learned that the overall situation at Indonesian ports has improved compared to before, 

and some freight forwarders have started to ship goods normally.

 However, the delivery time is still fluctuating, and it takes about one month for general cargo. 

However, not all ports are recovering; some have even turned "red" again. 

On April 22, during the concentrated anti-smuggling law enforcement period, 

the anti-smuggling task force of Central Java Province discovered over 50 containers carrying

 smuggled vehicles being cleared at the Tanjung Emas Port in Semarang City. 

The case involved a staggering amount of 100 billion Indonesian rupiah. 

After investigation, it was found that the lawbreakers had smuggled a total of 1,727 motorcycles, 

cars and trucks within 15 months by purchasing vehicles without legal procedures at low prices

 and reselling them at high prices for profit, illegally making over 100 billion Indonesian rupiah.

On May 12, a few weeks later, the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) seized another container at the port suspected of carrying illegal vehicle parts. Surprisingly, 

the importer was apparently linked to the freight company involved in the previous customs corruption case. 

The two cases are of a serious nature, making the already busy customs clearance situation at the Semarang Port even more severe. 

According to the service provider, due to the 100% random inspection of the containers, the local customs clearance time has been extended to about 30 days. 

The law enforcement model has also been upgraded from the previous single inspection of containers at ports to a full-chain reverse investigation:

 Some law enforcement officers will hide in the vehicle in advance and disguise themselves as express delivery vehicles. 

After identifying the warehouse address of the consignee, they will directly go to the site to inventory the stock and check the tax declaration records, 

and then trace back to strictly review the related customs clearance agencies. 

Greater challenges lie ahead. Some sellers have already heard the news that starting from June 8th,

 Indonesia will launch another round of strict inspections from the docks to the warehouses.

 It is obvious that the authorities' tough stance on illegal imports is driving the enforcement to be further intensified. 

Since the beginning of the year, the major shake-up at the customs' top level, 

coupled with the annual sensitive period of routine supervision in Indonesia and the current 

30-day anti-smuggling operation, the industry has been continuously hit by policy shocks.
