Bonded Warehouse

In Indonesian: Gudang Berikat

A bonded warehouse (gudang berikat) is one type of bonded storage facility supervised by Indonesian Customs, where imported goods are stored with import duty and taxes suspended until they are released. If goods are re-exported or supplied to a bonded zone, the levies may not be payable under the rules. The facility eases cash flow for importers and distributors. Licensing, permitted activities and reporting are set by Ministry of Finance regulations; check current DJBC rules.
