The Soekarno-Hatta Main Customs and Excise Service Office (KPUBC TMP) C, Tangerang, implemented new regulations on March 10, 2024, limiting the entry of passenger goods from overseas.

These restrictions are outlined in Minister of Trade Regulation (Permendag) Number 36 of 2023 concerning Import Policy and Regulations. This regulation reorganizes import policies, shifting the supervision of certain imported goods brought into Indonesia.

Head of Soekarno-Hatta Customs, Gatot Sugeng Wibowo, stated that this Permendag will impact passenger imports. Therefore, there are now maximum limits on the quantity of goods passengers can bring back to Indonesia.

Gatot specified five types of goods with quantity restrictions: footwear, textiles, bags and shoes, and electronics.

The quantity limits are: a maximum of two pairs of footwear per passenger; two bags per passenger; and a maximum of five pieces of finished textile goods per passenger.

"Furthermore, for electronics, each passenger is allowed a maximum of five units with a total value not exceeding US$1,500. For mobile phones, headsets, and tablets, the limit is two units per passenger," Gatot said, as reported by *Katadata* on Sunday, March 10, 2024.

He explained that the regulation, issued via Permendag, came into effect 90 days later, precisely on Sunday, March 10, 2024.

"This regulation shifts the commodities whose import supervision was previously *post-border* back to *border* control," Gatot said.

Applies to All Passengers

Gatot stated that these new regulations apply to all overseas passengers, including Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) returning home.

He explained that if a passenger brings more goods than allowed, Soekarno-Hatta Customs will professionally impose import duties.

"So, there are limits on baggage. If they have excess baggage and are willing to pay import duties and taxes, they are free to do so," Gatot said.

He urged importers to pay attention to these new regulations and plan their imports accordingly.

"We urge the public to take note of Permendag Number 36 of 2023, as these commodities are commonly brought back to Indonesia by passengers as souvenirs or gifts for family and relatives," Gatot said.
