Indonesia Customs Declaration (e-CD)

Travelers must declare the following items on the e-CD form:

• Currency, travelers’ checks, and other financial instruments exceeding IDR 100 million (or equivalent, roughly $6400 USD)
• Goods and gifts with a total value exceeding $6500 USD
• Restricted items, such as certain medications, food, plants, and animals
• Prohibited items, which cannot be brought into Indonesia under any circumstances

Additionally, you must declare the following items, as they exceed the duty-free allowance:

• More than 200 cigarettes/ 25 cigars or 100 grams of sliced tobacco
• More than 1 liter of alcoholic beverage.

If you wish to carry more than these quantities into Indonesia, you must pay an import duty fee. Note that minors under the age of 18 are not permitted to carry any amount of these items.

Some items are prohibited or restricted from entering Indonesia. These include:

• Narcotics and illegal drugs
• Firearms and ammunition (unless you have a valid permit)
• Pornographic materials
• Counterfeit goods
• Chinese medicines
• Certain types of plants and animals

On the first page of the form, you need to fill in your personal information, including:

• Name
• Passport number
• Nationality
• Date of birth
• Occupation (job)
• Address of accommodation in Indonesia

You also need to provide your flight details, including the airport you’ll arrive at, flight number, and arrival date.

This page asks you to provide the number of pieces of accompanied and unaccompanied baggage you’re carrying.

You also need to indicate the number of family members traveling with you. If you’re traveling as a family, you only need to submit one Indonesian customs declaration form.

On this page, you need to answer yes or no questions about the items you are bringing into Indonesia. If applicable, you also need to provide descriptions of the items.

Here, you must register your communication devices, such as smartphones, handheld computers, and tablets.

For each device, you need to indicate:

• Brand
• Type
• IMEI  (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number
• Value

You can register a maximum of 2 items per passenger. 

To finalize the online Indonesian customs declaration form, simply review your information, accept the declaration, and submit the form.

A QR code will then be generated, which you can show or scan upon arrival in Indonesia. It is not mandatory to print the QR code: you can simply display it to customs officials on your mobile device.

This helps the officials decide if you need to pass through the ‘Red’ or ‘Green’ customs channels:

• The red channel is for passengers who have goods to declare, such as the restricted or prohibited items, or items exceeding the duty-free allowance. They will need to provide the necessary documentation and may be subject to additional inspections.
• The green channel is for passengers who have no goods to declare or have items within the duty-free allowance. Travelers entering the green channel can proceed without further customs inspections unless selected for random checks.

By completing the e-CD form online, you can ensure a smoother and more efficient customs process when entering Indonesia. Always remember to follow the country’s customs regulations and declare any required items to avoid penalties or delays.
