HS Code (Harmonized System Code)

In Indonesian: Kode HS (pos tarif) Abbreviation: HS Updated November 5, 2026

The HS code is the World Customs Organization's goods classification system, harmonised internationally to 6 digits and revised periodically. Indonesia uses 8 digits in BTKI 2022, which follows the ASEAN AHTN. The code sets the import duty rate, certain PPh 22 treatment, import and export restrictions (lartas) and FTA preference rules. Misclassification can lead to underpayment, penalties or held goods, so read the tariff headings carefully or ask a licensed customs broker.

BTKI is the Indonesian Customs Tariff Book, the official list of 8-digit tariff lines with their general import duty rates.

Export Declaration (PEB, BC 3.0)
