What are the duty-free allowances for travellers entering Indonesia?

When entering Indonesia, travellers are allowed to bring certain goods duty-free, up to the limits set by Indonesian Customs.

1. Personal goods

You may bring personal items with a total value of up to USD 500 per person without paying import duties.

Families travelling together can combine their allowance (e.g., USD 500 × number of family members).

2. Tobacco products

You may bring one of the following duty-free:

• 200 cigarettes, or

• 25 cigars, or

• 100 grams of sliced tobacco

These limits cannot be combined (e.g., cigarettes + cigars).

3. Alcohol

Each traveller may bring up to 1 liter of alcoholic beverages duty-free.

4. Important notes

• If you exceed the duty-free allowances, you must declare the items and may have to pay import duties/taxes.

• Customs rules may occasionally change — if your quantities are close to the limit, it’s safer to double-check the latest regulations.
