BPK Flags Irregular Customs Valuations at Four Offices, Citing Rp1.03 Billion in Potential State Revenue Losses
The audit board's report on customs from 2023–2025 found non-compliant duty and tariff determinations, with one case of officials insufficiently examining five sugar imports at Tanjung Priok.
Indonesia's Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) published findings on October 30 from its audit of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise covering 2023–2025. The report found that duty and tariff determinations at four customs service offices did not comply with regulations, with potential state revenue losses (PNBP) of Rp1.03 billion.
One cited case: examining officials were insufficiently thorough in reviewing five sugar importations at the Tanjung Priok Main Customs Service Office. The irregularities were detected through analysis of the CEISA 4.0 customs database combined with physical inspection of customs documents.
The audit underlines where the weak link sits in the import chain — the quality of document examination for declarations such as PIB, invoices and bills of lading. Findings of this type typically push both the customs authority and importers toward tighter document validation, since supplementary state-revenue bills can flow to the importing party.
