TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta:The Chairman of the Jakarta Branch of Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Edy Kuntadi, said that some customs regulations obstruct free trade implementation.<\/p>\n
For example, import products letter of origins must be submitted at a maximum of three days after shipping.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis surpasses the time limit for products that are supposed to be free of import duty get charged,\u201d he said yesterday.<\/p>\n
Other regulations complained about are the one requiring entrepreneur that rectifies the memorandum of import documents to be heavily sanctioned, up to 1000 percent.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the importer was not found, the Customs Arrangement Service Companies (PPJK) must bear it,\u201d said Eddy<\/p>\n
The General Manager of Sarana Lintas Caraka - one of the PPJK--Mamik Leksono, revealed that there are numerous importers that failed to use free trade facilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom 20 import documents handled, five of them failed,\u201d said Mamik. This is unfortunate for the importers because import products price will be higher.<\/p>\n
The Customs Information Director, Susiwijono, said he comsidered that submitting the note of origin more than three days after is still permissible.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs long as they have obtained the original stamp from the letter of origin publisher,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to him, the government has socialized the rules several times.<\/p>\n
