Directional Source: basic duty: WITS https://wits.worldbank.org/API/V1/SDMX/V21/datasource/TRN/reporter/360/partner/000/product/120242/year/all/datatype/reported. Reported tariff for 2023 (WITS), not checked against today's schedule; verify before committing. Not established: VAT/GST, FTA rate. Basic duty is the applied MFN rate Indonesia reported to WITS (UNCTAD TRAINS) for 2023, not today's schedule. No official tariff schedule or measure establishing the applicable rates for HS 120242 in Indonesia could be verified. Confirm with Indonesia customs before pricing a deal.

Documents and registrations

• Import Export Code (IEC)
• Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC)
• RCMC for APEDA scheduled products
• Phytosanitary Certificate for rice
• Health Certificate / Certificate of Free Sale for imported food products in Indonesia
• import permit/import license from Indonesia for controlled agricultural products
• importer registration/identification number in Indonesia
• commercial invoice
• packing list
• certificate of origin
• shipping bill
• phytosanitary or health certificate as applicable
• import permit/recommendation as applicable

Where to get them: DGFT issues IEC; APEDA issues e-RCMC for APEDA scheduled products; Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage (DPPQS) issues phytosanitary certificates; Indonesia Ministry of Agriculture issues import permits/recommendations for some agricultural products; Indonesian Ministry of Trade registration is needed to access INATRADE; Indonesian competent authority for food health certificate is the Sub-Directorate of Food Labeling and Export-Import Inspection under the food control directorate

The usual failure point is missing Indonesian importer-side pre-approval: products can be stopped if the importer has not secured the required import permit, registration, or INATRADE access before shipment. Another common problem is missing the correct product-specific certificate on the Indian side, especially phytosanitary or health documentation when the Indonesian authority asks for it.

What this page does not know

• Freight and port costs for your shipment. Carrier rates are not connected yet, so we do not print a freight number here. Put your own quotes into the landed cost calculator; it fills in this duty.
• Your buyer's price. The mandi price is what groundnut costs inside India.
