JAKARTA - Recently, there was a lot of video explaining the rules of luggage that must be reported if you want to travel abroad. This commotion made the Ministry of Finance finally open its voice and straighten out the rules. Special Staff to the Minister of Finance for Strategic Communication Yustinus Prastowo, apologized for the flow of passengers' luggage abroad which had shocked the public.
The video was uploaded through the social media account of the Customs and Excise Supervision Office of the Type Customs and Excise Service of Customs and Customs at Kualanamu Airport. Yustinus said that the content was not in accordance with the intent or substance of regulations and practice of the congenital flow of passengers abroad that had been in effect so far. Based on the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 2017 concerning the Provisions for Export and Import Goods brought by Passengers and Drivers of Transport Facilities, the built-in goods abroad focused are high value goods such as bicycles for exercise, exhibition items, or items for art activities such as filming or concerts.
The Customs Office is also very selective in determining the goods required for the declaration. And the declaration is optional and not mandatory. Declaration services are also provided in the international departure area and not the arrival area, with the aim of providing effectiveness and efficiency.
The policy was made to help Indonesian citizens who will hold activities abroad. Registering these luggage to Customs and Excise will facilitate and accelerate the completion of customs services for the goods concerned when returning to Indonesia with the owner. Watch the video below.
