Customs office seized Rp 3t in illegal goods, JAKARTA POST

JAKARTA (JP): The Jakarta Customs and Excise office is storing illegally imported goods worth Rp 3 trillion (US$ 315.8 million) seized over the
past six months, its outgoing chief said on Tuesday.
Office head Roy R. Lino told visiting members of City Council Commission C for financial affairs most of the goods were not equipped with
appropriate invoices or brought into the country by fake companies which imported electronic goods and luxury cars.
Among the seized goods were 130 used luxurious cars worth a total of Rp 40 billion, Roy said at his office in Tanjung Priok harbor, north Jakarta.
The cars, each worth between Rp 300 million to Rp 500 million, are now kept in warehouses and containers belonging to Jakarta International
Container Terminal (JITC) and Pelabuhan Indonesia II port operators.
Several Audi TT Coupe sport cars, Prado Land Cruiser, Mercedes Benz, and many other used luxury cars are waiting for auction, as the North
Jakarta District Court is processing the cases.
"One of the invoices was attached to some diesel engines and motorcycle spare parts, but when we checked the containers, we found two
Mercedes Benz cars behind the stacks of engines," Roy said.
In another case, he added, the invoice stated that the goods were imported by a certain company, but when the customs and excise office
requested import tax for the shipment, the firm claimed to have never ordered the merchandise.
The Custom and Excise Office also seized electronic goods such as TV and VCD sets and other merchandise mostly from Asia.
Roy said his office needs a plot of land on which storehouses could be built to keep the goods pending a court ruling.
"We need at least 2 hectares of land to build warehouses near our existing office," Roy said without elaborating.
Roy said during his six-month tenure, his office had revoked the license of 300 importers for their involvement in counterfeit documents, but only
30 of them met the requirements necessary to go to trial.
He said the main problem was presenting evidence to the court, which required summoning producers of imported goods to Jakarta, while the
fake company never showed up.
"It needs courage and consistency to uphold the law, because smugglers are becoming more sophisticated in doing their business," Roy said.
He said his office contributed Rp 4.1 trillion to state revenue last year, and has set a target of Rp 6.2 trillion this year.

Ya ever been there? You need to bribe everyone just to get around. No wonder the importer has probs
Makes you wonder what is getting through.
A little common sense with the harbor master, and you've got it made.
Go see "the Year of Living Dangerously"
Not much has changed.
I love the Far East, but I hated going to Jakarta, about as much as India.
