FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between API-U and API-P?
API-U is for general importers who import goods for resale. API-P is for producers who import for their own production needs (cannot be resold in original form).
Is API still needed after having NIB?
Yes. NIB is a general business identity, while API is a special license for import activities. Importers must have both.
What is Customs NIK?
Customs Master Number (NIK) is the company identification number in the Customs system (CEISA), required for conducting customs transactions.
What is LARTAS?
Import Restrictions — certain commodities whose import is controlled/restricted (e.g., steel, textiles, sugar, alcohol). Requires special Import Approvals.
How much does it cost to import certain products?
Import duties vary 0-40% depending on HS Code, plus PPN 11%, PPh 22 import 7.5-2.5%. Bizmark.ID provides HS code consultation and import cost calculation before ordering.
