The Directorate General of Customs and Excise recorded a total of 67 cases of car and motorcycle smuggling this year. The number has increased since 2016 to 2019.
These 67 smuggling cases involved the discovery of 84 cars and 2,693 motorcycles. The estimated value of the smuggled cars is Rp 312.9 billion, and the smuggled motorcycles are valued at Rp 10.8 billion.
Indonesian Finance Minister, Sri Mulyani, emphasized that this increase in smuggling is predicted to be due to rising demand. The state's losses due to this smuggling reach twice the original price of the goods. This also takes into account potential lost taxes. Therefore, in 2019, the state lost hundreds of billions of Rupiah.
