Customs and excise gold card

A free way is not only monopolized by drivers on toll roads. Importers will also be able to enjoy a free way if their imported products enter Indonesia's customs areas. The Directorate General of Customs and Excise plans to provide gold cards to particular importers. The importers obtaining such cards will enjoy extra service outside the normal procedure.

Of course, not all importers will receive such facilities. Then, who will be the lucky ones? This is something which the Customs and Excise office is yet to announce. Anyway, it's still a plan.

In fact, the Tax Directorate General provides quite interesting facilities.

The plan to give gold cards to certain importers, aimed at providing special services, should be supported. Yet, it will be more special if the improvement of services can be enjoyed by all importers. Principally, as a public institution, the Directorate General of Customs and Excise has to give equal treatment to every user of its customs services.
