Indonesia can be a difficult place to clear
customs. Normal customs clearance takes from 7 to 10 working
days, providing the documentation is order. If duties
have been assessed, allow 3 to 4 days after payment to
the Indonesian Customs Cashier.
The average time to obtain documentation
certifying valid work and residence permits can range
from two (2) to four (4) weeks after arrival of the shipper
in the Indonesia with a one-year visa from the Indonesian
Embassy or Consulate.
It is recommended that the shipper prepare
a list of titles and authors of books/publications to
