Hooray! Migrant workers are exempt from import duties when sending goods to Indonesia

Dream - The desire of migrant workers to not be charged additional fees when sending goods to Indonesia will soon be realized. The Ministry of Finance will soon implement the exemption of import duties for parcels sent by Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) or TKI.

The new policy in the form of Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) will be issued through the Directorate General of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance (DJBC). Head of Import Subdirectorate of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise of the Ministry of Finance, Chotibul Umam, revealed that the discussion of the PMK is still awaiting provisions of trade procedures which fall under the authority of the Ministry of Trade.

"If it is up to us as soon as possible, what we are waiting for now is that the implementation of PMK must be in line with the policy of importing goods from the Ministry of Trade,"

Chotibul said, quoted from Merdeka.com, Wednesday, 13 August 2023.

The exemption of import duties for Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) is divided into two categories, namely PMI who are officially registered with the Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection Agency (BP2MI). Another category is intended for PMI who are registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu) but not registered with BP2MI.

"For registered Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) under BP2MI, they will receive exemption from import duty three times a year, or each worth US$500, with a total of US$1,500."

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Similar facilities will not be obtained by PMI who are only registered in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs but not recorded by BP2MI. This category of PMI will only be given customs duty exemption facilities for shipping goods once with a value of up to US$500 per year."

Chotibul stated that the provision of fiscal facilities is a form of appreciation for migrant workers who have provided foreign exchange in the form of remittances worth hundreds of trillions. The issuance of this PMK is also expected to provide legal certainty for Indonesian migrant workers who want to send goods from abroad to their families in their hometown.

"By having this regulation, it is expected that immigrant workers can obtain legal clarity on how the delivery of goods complies with the existing regulations."

"ujar Chotib." translates to "said Chotib."

Regarding the limitation of goods delivery, the arrangement will be under the authority of the Ministry of Trade. In addition to the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Trade, there are several other related ministries involved in the discussion, such as the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Industry. "If it comes to fiscal policy, God willing, we have finished," he said.
