What Are the Current Import Tax Rates in Indonesia in 2025?

When importing goods into Indonesia, businesses and individuals need to be aware of the tax obligations applied to shipments. In 2025, the government continues to enforce several types of import duties and taxes to regulate trade, protect local industries, and generate revenue.

The key taxes that importers should note include:

• Import Duty (Bea Masuk) - Generally ranges from 0% to 40%, depending on the type of product and its Harmonized System Code (HS Code) classification. Some essential goods may have lower rates, while luxury items or products with local substitutes face higher tariffs.
• Value Added Tax (VAT/PPN) - A flat 11% applied to the customs value plus import duty. This tax is charged on most imported goods.
• Income Tax (PPh 22 on Imports) - Usually set at 2.5% to 7.5%, depending on whether the importer is a registered taxpayer and the type of goods.
• Excise Duty (if applicable) - Applied to specific products such as alcohol, tobacco, and certain luxury goods. The rate varies significantly depending on the product category.

Together, these taxes can add a substantial cost to imported goods, making it important for importers to calculate their landed cost before shipment. Understanding the correct HS Code and working with a reliable customs broker can help minimize errors and avoid unexpected charges.
