KPK Through Stranas PK Issues Five Recommendations to Strengthen Import Governance
Jakarta (ANTARA) — The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), through the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (Stranas PK), has issued five recommendations to promote the strengthening of import governance.
"First, strengthening the digitalization and integration of import monitoring systems through the optimization of Indonesia Single Risk Management (ISRM) and Indonesia National Single Window (INSW) based on real-time cross-ministry/agency data exchange, which is expected to provide early warnings," KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo told journalists in Jakarta on Sunday.
Second, implementing objective and documented profiling and risk scoring systems to limit individual discretion in determining clearance lanes and granting import facilities through the utilization of the National Commodity Balance System (SINAS NK) and Single Submission (SSm) Licensing.
Third, integrating licensing data, commodity balances, and beneficial ownership to ensure ownership transparency and accountability in the appointment of importers and allocation of quotas between the Ministry of Finance through the National Single Window Agency (LNSW) and the Ministry of Law through the Directorate General of General Legal Administration.
Fourth, simplifying inter-agency business processes in the customs and quarantine sectors to eliminate overlapping authorities that could potentially become spaces for illegal negotiation.
Fifth, minimizing face-to-face interactions through end-to-end digitalization of services while strengthening public complaint channels such as 'Jaga Pelabuhan' (Port Watch) as instruments of social control.
"Reforming the import sector and customs services is not merely an administrative matter but an important part of safeguarding economic sovereignty, protecting compliant businesses, and ensuring every cross-border flow of goods takes place transparently," Budi said.
He therefore said the KPK will continue to monitor the implementation of these governance improvements, especially since corruption patterns in the customs sector frequently recur by exploiting system gaps and technical discretion. He cited as one example the case of alleged bribery and gratuities related to the import of counterfeit goods within the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) at the Ministry of Finance.
Previously, on February 4, 2026, the KPK confirmed it conducted a sting operation within the Ministry of Finance's Directorate General of Customs and Excise. On the same date, the KPK revealed that one of those arrested in the operation was Rizal, Head of the DJBC Western Sumatra Regional Office.
On February 5, 2026, the KPK announced that six of the 17 individuals arrested were subsequently named suspects in the case of alleged bribery and gratuities related to the import of counterfeit goods within DJBC. They are Rizal (RZL) in his capacity as Director of Enforcement and Investigation at DJBC for the 2024–January 2026 period, Head of the DJBC Enforcement and Investigation Intelligence Subdirectorate Sisprian Subiaksono (SIS), and Head of the DJBC Intelligence Section Orlando Hamonangan (ORL). Additionally, Blueray Cargo owner John Field (JF), Blueray Cargo Import Documentation Team Leader Andri (AND), and Blueray Cargo Operations Manager Dedy Kurniawan (DK).
