The Indonesian government has issued MoF Regulation No. 50 of 2024 (“PMK-50”) as the implementing regulation for Article 85A paragraph (3) of the Customs Law. Under this regulation, Customs officials are granted the authority to supervise the transportation of certain goods within the Indonesian customs territory.

This regulation covers supervision from loading, departure, and transportation to unloading of goods at the destination. The specific goods subject to supervision are determined by the relevant technical agencies through official regulations, which are then communicated via the Indonesia National Single Window System (SINSW) or the Service Computer System (SKP).

The carriers of the goods are required to report certain goods through the Specific Goods Customs Notification (PPBT) before the transportation process begins. If this obligation is not met or if there are outstanding sanctions, Customs has the authority to block the carrier’s customs access.

PMK-50 was enacted on July 31, 2024, by the Indonesian Finance Minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati, and will come into effect 90 days from the date of its issuance.
