Urgent Alert
According to official Indonesian sources, a new round of customs “Red Light Period” enforcement has officially begun.
Indonesia Customs, together with seven major enforcement agencies, is conducting high-intensity inspections across the country. In key ports such as Jakarta and Tangerang, “red-labeled” cargo is subject to 100% container inspection. Clearance delays are increasing, costs are surging, and non-compliant shipments may face detention or destruction.
Why Is This Red Light Period More Severe?
1. Intensified crackdown on “grey clearance”
The ban on certain social-commerce goods and stricter enforcement have worsened warehouse congestion and port pressure.
2. Economic protection policies tightened
Indonesia’s textile and manufacturing industries are under pressure from low-priced imports. To protect local employment and stabilize the economy, the government is taking strong action against illegal imports.
3. Tax loophole crackdown
Import data discrepancies are alarming:
Declared origin value vs. Indonesian customs records shows up to 200% difference
Severe tax leakage has triggered stricter supervision and upgraded enforcement
New Policy Wave Hits Hard
100%–200% punitive tariffs
Expanded categories requiring mandatory SNI certification
Strong crackdown on “grey clearance” practices
