It is reported that seven Indonesian departments have been conducting joint warehouse inspections in Jakarta, Tangerang, and surrounding areas since February 11, expected to last two weeks. This operation covers multiple fields with high compliance requirements and severe penalties. Some sellers believe the intensity exceeds that of last July. Relevant parties suggest sellers move temporary warehousing items and close warehouses. On a macro level, despite national revenue in 2024, Indonesia still has a high fiscal deficit, such as frozen capital construction budgets and the heavy burden of the free lunch program. Strengthening import inspections and tax supervision can prevent tax loopholes and increase fiscal revenue. On a micro level, ahead of Ramadan, businesses stock up heavily, and illegal imported goods are rampant. Additionally, during Ramadan, e-commerce shopping demand is high, and the government aims to crack down on contraband through these actions. Indonesia is focusing supervision on imported textiles, clothing, ceramics, electronic products, and other categories. Due to strengthened port inspections as well as Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr holidays, customs clearance efficiency is expected to decline. Furthermore, dockworker protests may also affect logistics. Businesses are advised to ensure the compliance of goods when stocking up and to plan inventory rationally.
