Indonesia Electronic Products - Overview
Electronic products cover consumer electronics, telecom equipment, computers and semiconductors. They are among the most traded goods worldwide and are subject to ad valorem duties that vary widely by HS subheading and by trading partner.
For reference only: the average, maximum and minimum rates below are taken from Indonesia's published tariff schedule. Actual duty depends on the exact HS subheading and on whether preferential (FTA) rates apply.

How Indonesia Import Duty on Electronic Products Is Calculated
Customs duty is normally charged on the customs value of the goods (commonly CIF - cost, insurance and freight). The ad valorem rate for the correct HS subheading is applied to that value. Depending on Indonesia, the following may also apply on top of or instead of the base tariff:
- Ad valorem duty - a percentage of customs value (the figures shown above).
- Specific / compound duty - a fixed amount per unit, or a mix, on some lines.
- VAT / GST / excise - consumption taxes charged on the duty-inclusive value at the border.
- Trade-agreement (preferential) rates - lower or zero where the goods meet rules of origin.
- Anti-dumping / safeguard duties - extra duties on specific products found to be dumped or surging.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Indonesia tariff on electronic products?
Indonesia applies ad valorem duties on electronics; the average rate for this category is around 5%, with a maximum near 15% and a duty-free minimum of 0%. Rates depend on the exact HS subheading (e.g. 8517.12 for phones/computers vs 8541/8542 for semiconductors).
Which HS codes cover electronics in Indonesia?
Electronics are mainly under HS Chapter 85 (electrical machinery), with selected items in Chapter 84 (machinery) and Chapter 90 (optical & measuring instruments). Representative codes include 8517.12 (communication equipment), 8471.30 (laptops) and 8528.72 (monitors/TV).
Are there preferential rates on electronics under trade agreements?
Yes where Indonesia has a free trade agreement with the exporting country. Preferential (often zero) rates apply only to goods that meet the agreement's rules of origin; otherwise the MFN rate applies.
Are anti-dumping duties applied to electronics?
Anti-dumping and safeguard duties can apply to specific electronic lines (e.g. certain displays or cells). Always check the HS subheading against the national trade-remedy registry before relying on the MFN rate.
