Useful information:
Indonesia can be a difficult place to clear customs. Normal customs clearance takes from 7 to 10 working days providing the documentation in order. If duties have been assessed, allow 3 ~4 days after payment to the Indonesian Customs cashier.
The average time to obtain documentation certifying valid work and residence permits can arrange from two (2) to four (4) weeks after the arrival of the shipper in Indonesia with one year visa from the Indonesian Embassy or consulate.
