Indonesian Customs Pre-Inspection
Facility in Darwin

j ·,

Following negotiations with the Indonesian Directorate General of Customs
and Excise. an Indonesian Customs Facility was established in Darwin in August
2002, on a trial basis for two years.
The purpose of the trial facility, in its initial form, is to provide for Customs preinspection of goods exported from Australia through the Port of Darwin to

ports in Indonesia, other than in Java or Sumatra.
Goods destined for ports in the eastern part of Indonesia can be inspected
prior to departure by Indonesian Customs officers stationed in Darwin.
Consignments inspected in this way will be certified ond. provided the
container or packaging is not tampered with. will be available for release in
the destination port without rurfher inspection required. (Customs duties·and
normal port handling costs will still apply.}
The Customs Facility in Darwin is being trialed as port of a program to establish
a range of services to compl.e ment the ran and port infrastructure which is
currently being developed in Darwi.n.
A tailored Indonesian Customs facmty in Darwin is seen as a means of
smoothing the flow of Australian exports to the eastern part of Indonesia and
greatly reducing delivery times. When fully operational. use of the facility for
direct export through Darwin into ports in the eastern part of Indonesia.
coupled with faster transport times to Darwin by roil, wm shorten delivery times
of consignments by a factor of weeks.
Currently the facifity only applies if consignments are sent directly to
Indonesia. Transit through major Indonesian ports and on to a final destination
outside of Java and Sumatra does not negate the Indonesian Customs Prelnspection in Darwin. However. transit through a third country (such as
Singapore or Timor Leste) is still not possible without further inspection.
There are a number of immediate advantages with this system - especially in
ports where there is no regular Indonesian Customs inspection service, such as
specialised mining ports or the many smaller ports in the ·eastern part of
Indonesia where no Indonesian Customs office exists.
Advantages include:


Consignments of imported goods no .longer have to be held at the port.
often in the open and without adequate s·ecurity, until a Customs officer
can be summoned from a l'a rger port.



Consignments can be sent directly to the port of destination without
having to transit through a port with Customs facilities.



Delays due to the unavailabiliiy of Customs officers in smaller ports at the
time of ornval or due to the need to transit a larger port for Customs
inspection purpqses, can be avoided.



In smar!er ports, consignments can be removed to the importers
warehouse on arrival. subject to normal port costs being met. Customs
duties must be made prior to the goods being used but in the meantime
the goods can be stored in the importers own secure area.

':>

In the longer term, the trial of the Customs Facility in Darwin will lead to
further modifications and improvements to the system. Already, through
examination of the electronic bank transfer system and the use of the
internet for document transfer and processing, the possibility of the extension
of the system to a much more comprehensive clearance of goods is being
explored.
The Facility covers consignments by air as well as by ship and ports covered
,: 1
1
include the larger ports of Makassar, Bitung, Balikpapan, Samarinda and
Kupang as well as smaller ports such as Benoa, Ternate, Timika, Waingapu and .
the many other small ports in the eastern part of Indonesia.
The Indonesian Customs officers in Darwin are not a customs handling service
nor are they customs agents. When using the facility it will be necessary for
interstate exporters, who do not already have a handling agent in Darwin, to
appoint a customs agent or local handler to act on their behalf.
