HS Code (Harmonized System Code) is an international product classification system used to determine applicable import regulations, duties, and VPTI requirements. Currently, the classification of goods in Indonesia is based on the Harmonized System and is incorporated into a tariff list called the Indonesian Customs Tariff Book (BTKI). This classification system uses an 8-digit numbering system in the Indonesian Customs Tariff Book (BTKI).

Border Controlrefers to import control measures conducted before customs clearance.

Post Border Surveillancerefers to monitoring and enforcement after goods have entered Indonesia.

A Surveyor’s Report (LS) is an official document issued after successful VPTI verification and is required for import processing. It is usually the standard when there are no significant issues throughout the inspection process.

Non-Negotiable Laporan Surveyor (NNLS) is a non-negotiable form of LS used specifically for compliance and customs purposes. The NNLS is released when there are serious issues, such as the importer failing to upload revised/finalized documents after verification, or that the items are not in accordance with the documents submitted.

VPTI applies to designated imported commodities regulated by the Ministry of Trade.
As of 2026, 41 commodities are covered under VPTI regulations.

Please note that regulations may change regarding the designated commodities.

VPTI (Verification or Technical Tracing of Imports) is a mandatory verification process to ensure imported goods comply with technical and regulatory requirements. It is implemented to protect consumers and support fair trade.

The VPTI process begins with the importing party in Indonesia submitting necessary documents for designated imported goods, involving inspection at the country of origin with the exporter, and the surveyor releasing certain verification documents that are necessary to ensure commodity entry in Indonesia.
