JAKARTA - Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa emphasized that the reform of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) would be accelerated. He targeted significant changes in performance and the customs supervision system were visible in March 2026.
Purbaya made the statement when inaugurating a container scanner at Terminal 3 and Terminal Mustika Alam Lestari, Tanjung Priok Port, North Jakarta, Thursday, December 12.
According to Purbaya, customs reform cannot be delayed any longer because it concerns public confidence, the smooth flow of goods, and the optimization of state revenues.
"I hope that in March next year, the picture of Customs will be much different," said Purbaya.
He explained that customs reform was carried out through strengthening supervision and accelerating digital transformation. The government will maximize the use of container scanner tools integrated with centralized artificial intelligence systems to reduce potential leaks.
However, Purbaya also reminded that there should be no obstacles in implementing reforms.
"If it can't be resolved, beware," he said.

Purbaya emphasized that this reform is not merely an improvement in technology, but also a change in the behavior and performance of the Customs apparatus in the field. The government wants tighter supervision without hindering the smooth service to business actors, while maintaining speed and transparency.
As a form of accountability, Purbaya ensures that the development of customs reform will be presented openly. "Later I will invite the media to see how advanced the system is," he said.
