The Indonesian customs authority has clarified that even if travelers' baggage items have been registered in the All-Indonesia system, inspections will still be conducted. During the entry and exit process of passengers, baggage inspection is an important part of customs work. The All-Indonesia system registration aims to improve clearance efficiency and facilitate faster passage for travelers, but this does not mean that registered baggage is exempt from inspection. The Indonesian customs stated that baggage inspection is based on multiple considerations.
On one hand, this is to ensure that the items carried by travelers comply with Indonesian laws and regulations, including provisions on prohibited and restricted imports and exports. For example, certain endangered animal and plant products, unlicensed medicines are strictly prohibited from being brought into the country; while some special goods also need to follow specific procedures and regulations when being exported.
On the other hand, inspections are also conducted to maintain the country's economic order and security and to prevent illegal activities such as smuggling. Customs officers will screen travelers' baggage based on professional judgment and relevant inspection procedures. For registered baggage, advanced inspection equipment and manual checks will still be used to determine the legality and compliance of the items inside.
Even if travelers have registered their baggage information in the system in advance, they must not take it lightly and must ensure that the items they carry comply with regulations. This measure reflects the attitude of the Indonesian customs to strictly enforce the law and safeguard national and public interests, while also reminding travelers to strictly abide by relevant regulations during entry and exit to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by carrying prohibited items.
