FAQ

Questions about this service

Is Indonesia Import Licence (API / PI) always required?

Applicability depends on the actual activity, structure, product, location, capacity and current authority requirements. We confirm scope before engagement.

Can you quote before reviewing documents?

We can usually provide an initial scope, but final fees, timing and third-party costs may depend on document readiness and the number of applications, products, sites or entities involved.

Are government and third-party fees included?

Only when the written quotation says so. Professional fees, government charges, testing, notary, engineer, auditor, translator and other third-party costs should be separated clearly.

Can this be part of a larger Indonesia entry project?

Yes. The service can be connected to corporate setup, tax, immigration, imports, product approvals, factory or ongoing compliance workstreams.
