Procedures for Exporting Goods from Indonesia to Overseas – The activity of exporting goods is a trading system that allows a person to trade across countries. Currently the government is trying to increase foreign exchange by boosting the flow of goods exports.

Export is one of the components of international trade. Another component is imports. They are goods and services purchased by residents of a country that are produced overseas. When combined, they make up a country’s trade balance. When a country exports more than it imports, it has a trade surplus. If imports are more than exports, it will run a trade deficit.

In Indonesia, export activities have increased. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) noted that Indonesia’s export value in February 2021 was US $ 15.27 billion. Thus, the export value in that month increased by 8.56% year on year (yoy).

Head of BPS, said that this is an exciting thing. This is because the export performance since November 2020 has continued to experience positive growth (yoy).

The export value in February 2021 was also greater than the export value in February 2020 which at that time was recorded at US $ 14.06 billion and better than February 2019 which at that time was valued at US $ 12.79 billion.

This is a very encouraging development, and it is hoped that future exports will be even better. This annual increase occurred due to an increase in oil and gas exports (oil and gas) by 6.90% (yoy) and exports on a non-oil and gas basis, which rose 8.67% (yoy).

Advantages of Exporting

Access to more Consumers and Businesses

If you only run an in-house business, you may be limiting the total potential profit you can get from the opportunity to grow your business around the world. Acquiring new opportunities to expand your business in markets around the world can help you increase your market inclination in doing business and get closer to consumers.

Extending the Product Life Cycle

Increased Domestic Competitiveness Most companies become competitive in the domestic market before they venture into the international shutter. Being competitive in the domestic market helps companies come up with several strategies that can assist in introducing their products. If the domestic market seems saturated for your goods and services, you can introduce them to new markets in other parts of the world. Introducing unknown products in other parts of the world is a way of approaching consumers in doing business.

Get Global Market Share

Being an international company will participate in the global market and get a share of their share of the huge international market.

Diversification

Selling to multiple markets allows companies to diversify their business and spread the risk. The company will not be bound by changes in the business cycle of the domestic market or one particular country.

Offsetting Seasonal Demand

Companies whose products or services are used only during certain seasons of the country may be able to sell their products or services in foreign markets during different seasons.

Create Potential for Company Expansion

Companies that enter the export business usually need to have a presence or representation in foreign markets. This may require additional personnel and thus lead to expansion.

Get New Knowledge and Experience

Being an international company can generate valuable ideas and information about new technologies, new marketing techniques, and foreign competitors. These advantages can help a company’s domestic and foreign businesses.

Increase Sales and Profits

Selling goods and services to markets that the company has never owned before increases sales and increases revenue. Additional overseas sales in the long run, once export development costs are closed, increase overall profitability. Bigger production can result in bigger economies of scale and better margins.

Procedure for Exporting Goods from Indonesia to Overseas

Export is an activity of releasing goods from the Indonesian customs area to the customs area of another country. Usually the export process starts with an offer from a party accompanied by approval from another party through a sales contract process, in this case the Exporters and Importers. The payment process for this transfer can be via the Letter of Credit (L/C) or non-L/C methods, each of which has its own risks and advantages.

Indonesia and Free Trade

Indonesia is a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) which is currently developing the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) policy which seeks to reduce intra-regional tariffs among its members through the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) Scheme. This rate requires its members to apply a rate of 0-5%.

More than 99% of the products on the CEPT Inclusion List (IL) of ASEAN-6, which consists of countries such as Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand have applied tariffs of 0-5%, while other countries such as Cambodia , Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam are still in the development stage of implementing these tariffs.

Currently, Indonesia also not only develops free market policies among ASEAN members but has now developed cooperation with other countries as well as through:

Four Main Stages In Export (Using L/C)

1. Sales Contract Process

Sales contract is a document/agreement letter between the seller and the buyer which is a follow-up of the purchase order requested by the importer. It contains the terms of payment for goods to be sold, such as price, quality, quantity, transportation method, insurance payment and so on. This contract is the basis for the buyer to fill out an L/C opening application to the Bank.

Sales Contract Process

a) Promotion

Promotional activities for commodities that will be exported through promotional media such as advertisements in electronic media, magazines, newspapers, trade shows or through agencies/institutions related to export promotion activities such as the Directorate General of National Export Development, Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Trade Attaches and so on.

b) Inquiry

Delivery of a letter of request for a certain commodity by the importer to the exporter (letter of inquiry). Usually contains a description of the goods, quality, price and delivery time.

c) Offer Sheet

The importer’s request will be responded to through an offer sheet sent by the exporter. This offer sheet contains information according to the importer’s request regarding the description of the goods, quality, price and delivery time. Apart from that, this offer sheet usually adds the terms of payment and delivery of samples/brochures.

d) Order Sheet

e) Sale’s Contract

f) Sale’s Confirmation

The process for opening the L/C is as follows:

    • The importer will ask the Opening Bank (Foreign Exchange Bank) to open a Letter of Credit as collateral and the funds will be used to make payments to the Exporter according to the agreement on the sales contract. The L/C opened is for and on behalf of the exporter or other person or entity appointed by the exporter in accordance with the payment terms in the sales contract.

This L/C opening process is carried out through electronic media, while the written confirmation will be stated in an L/C confirmation which is forwarded from the opening Bank to the advising Bank to be submitted to the Exporter.
    • The Advising Bank will check the validity of the opening of the L/C from the opening Bank, and if appropriate, the advising Bank will send a letter of introduction (L/C advice) to the eligible Exporter. If the advising Bank is also requested by the opening Bank to guarantee payment of the said L/C, the advising Bank is also called a confirming Bank.

3. Cargo Shipment Process

The important output of this process is a shipping document which is proof that the exporter has sent the goods ordered by the Importer in accordance with the requirements stated in the L/C.

Cargo Shipment Process Export

The stages of cargo shipment process are as follows:

    • The exporter will receive L/C advice as a reference for delivering the goods and at this time the exporter will make a shipment order to the shipping company according to the terms stated in the sales contract. After that the exporter must take care of the obligations of the Export Declaration of Goods (PEB) at Customs and Excise at the port of loading. As well as other things such as the payment of export tax (PE) and Additional Export Tax (PET) on the advising Bank.
    • Shipping Company will load the goods and submit proof of receipt of goods, contract of transport, proof of ownership of goods (bill of lading) and other shipping documents if any to the exporter, then the exporter will send it to the advising bank to be sent to the opening bank.
    • Shipping Company will transport the goods to the destination port stated in the Bill of Lading (B/L).
    • The importer will receive the shipping document if the payment obligation to the opening bank has been made. Furthermore, this shipping document is used to take care of import clearance with customs at the port and to pick up cargo from the shipping company containing the goods ordered.
    • The Shipping Agent will deliver the goods to the Importer if the shipping agent service fee has been paid.

4. Shipping Document Negotiation Process

This process is the process of cashing out shipping documents for exporters and is a process for claiming goods that have been paid for importers.

Shipping Document Negotiation Process

    • After receiving the B/L from the shipping company, the Exporter will prepare all other documents required by the L/C such as invoice, packing list, quality certification, Certificate of Origin (SKA) and so on. All documents will be submitted to the negotiating bank, in this case the advising bank, which is specified in the L/C to obtain payment for the L/C.
    • The Negotiating Bank will check the completeness and accuracy of the shipping documents sent by the exporter, if it matches the required L/C, the negotiating Bank will make payments according to the exporter’s bill from the available L/C funds.
    • The Negotiating Bank will send the shipping document to the opening Bank to get reimbursement for the payment it has made to the Exporter
    • The Opening Bank will check the completeness and accuracy of the shipping documents, if it matches the L/C required, the opening Bank will provide a reimbursement to the negotiating Bank.
    • The Opening Bank then notifies the importer of receipt of shipping documents. The importer will complete the payment of the document to obtain a shipping document which functions to collect the ordered goods from the shipping agent and local customs

Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual property rights (IPR) are divided into two categories, namely copyrights and industrial property rights. Copyright is an exclusive right for an author or the right recipient to publish or reproduce his work or give permission for it without reducing the restrictions according to the prevailing laws and regulations.

Meanwhile, industrial property rights consist of the rights:

    • Patent
    • Brand
    • Industrial design
    • Integrated circuit layout design
    • Trade secret
    • Plant varieties

In Indonesia, the appreciation of intellectual property rights is still low, so that sometimes there are those who think that these intellectual property rights are not needed. In fact, intellectual property rights are useful for protecting entrepreneurs from the possibility of using their property rights without permission. Therefore it is important for exporters to prepare their products related to IPR before exporting so that these products have legal protection.

As a consequence of membership of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Indonesia must adjust all laws and regulations in the field of Intellectual Property Rights with Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIP’s) standards. One proof that Indonesia pays serious attention to protecting IPRs, Indonesia has an agency that is authorized to manage Intellectual Property Rights, namely the Directorate General of Intellectual Property Rights (Ditjen HKI) which is under the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia.

The registration mechanism and further explanation can be seen at http://www.dgip.go.id/. IPR applicants can see on the website of the Directorate General of IPR whether their products have been registered or not, and IPR applicants can also conduct searches to other patent offices in the destination country.
