Indonesia - New Customs Regulation
A new weight regulation for express clearance of consolidation shipments into Indonesia has been implemented in Indonesia with immediate effect. The regulation states that the maximum weight per consignment note [hawb] eligible for express clearance is 100 kilos.If the weight exceeds 100 kilos - the shipment will be cleared as general cargo [formal import process]. With the new regulation effective there are no value limitations. However – the weight limitation will be very strictly applied.
Requirement of Contact Numbers
Keeping in sync with our persistent & consistent efforts to be informative in order to have our network & customers benefitted from the same - the specific importance of the availability of a telephone or a fax number or a cellphone number along with the P.O.BOX NUMBER of the consignee based in any of the middle-east country is very much paramount.
It is absolutely essential that the contact details of such relevant consignees should include not only their full name & P.O.BOX NUMBER but as mentioned here -above the telephone number or the fax number or the cellphone number too.
These full contact details must appear on the shipment & as well as the consignment notes too.
In absence of the contact numbers - it is very difficult to deliver shipments which have the mention of just the P.O.BOX NUMBER - the city name & the country & involve unnecessary line-functions which delay the delivery transit times.
This compliance or adherence will definitely facilitate prompt & smooth deliveries to the consignees based in the middle-east countries wherein the contact identification of the receiver is based on the P.O.BOX NUMBER.
Lastly but not the least - the requirement of the contact numbers is not just applicable to the deliveries in the gulf-based or the middle-east countries but for all such shipments that are expected to be delivered anywhere in the world smoothly & without any problems or delays.
