FAQ

Are duties always payable?

Many Indonesian-origin goods enjoy MFN-zero or low duty rates, but some lines (e.g., textile chapters) have meaningful duties. Confirm with your customs broker against the exact HS code.

Do I need a customs bond?

Commercial entries above $2,500 typically require a single-entry or continuous bond. Nusanua does not provide bonds; coordinate with your customs broker.
