Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Arunika handle customs clearance as a PPJK?
Yes. Arunika provides PPJK services for import and export customs documentation, including PIB/PEB coordination, supporting documents, and clearance monitoring.
What is the difference between a customs broker and a freight forwarder?
A freight forwarder focuses on shipment and logistics, while a customs broker or PPJK focuses on customs declarations, classification, customs value, import charges, and document compliance. They often work together.
Can HS codes be reviewed before shipment?
Yes. HS code review is best done before shipment so import duty, permits, import VAT, Article 22 tax, and supporting documents can be prepared early.
What documents are needed for import customs clearance?
Common documents include invoice, packing list, B/L or AWB, insurance policy if any, restricted goods permits, tax and business IDs, certificate of origin if using FTA, and product technical data for HS code review.
Does this include import tax reconciliation?
