Carnet

Custom Clearance and ATA/Carnet

ALL applicants who will be bringing their own filming equipment to Indonesia must declare all equipment to the Customs Authority and will be required to lodge a bond which will be refunded when the equipment is taken out of the country upon completion of the project. Once the approval has been granted for temporary import, it is valid for 12 months after the date of issue. Approvals may be extended if required.

Starting May 2015, Indonesia has accepted ATA Carnet. ATA Carnet is a set of international customs documents for the temporary admission of goods that simplifies the time-consuming customs procedures and removes the obligation of exporters to pay the customs duty and tax of goods imported into a country of destination since the document has been guaranteed by the International ATA Carnet Guarantee Chain.

Indonesia (ISO code ID) accepts ATA Carnets for the intended uses of :
