⚠️ 【Attention-2】Although the importer is required to submit identity certificates, it doesn't exactly indicate all of the parcels can be cleared by this method. For the restricted shipments regulated by Indonesian customs policy, the importer must submit the import permits besides identity certificates for clearance. Shipment won't be released until customs approves. On the other hand, prohibited ones are unable to import whether the importer submit identity certificates or not.
