Furniture Import Laws

YOU NEED TO FIND OUT!

Furniture importing laws vary from country to country. If you want to export products from Bali and Java in Indonesia to your country then you need to find out what the laws are regarding imported goods from Indonesia.

You don’t know the laws and regulations of your country?

Importing products from a foreign country can involve lots of customs red tape in your country. This can be confusing, especially if you haven’t done it before.

All countries have different laws, regulations and restrictions for products being imported and as an Indonesian exporter, we don’t know the laws of foreign countries.

In the eyes of the law in your country, you are the importer, so you are responsible for making sure the goods comply with your country’s regulations, not the foreign manufacturer.

It’s important to find out.

BE SMART! NOT SORRY

Are you afraid of breaking the law and facing fines or penalties?.

Check with your government’s appropriate departments to ensure all products being imported into your country by you conform to the import country’s rules, regulations and laws.

If you know the law, it’s not difficult, but if you fall foul of your country’s product-importing laws, it can end up being a nightmare. 

Goods can be seized, fines issued, goods can be destroyed or rejected. 

Products imported by you which do not comply with the laws and regulations of your country, customs will hold you responsible as the importer. They could fine you and charge you costs to seize or destroy the goods.

If you are from a developed country then your main concern is abiding by the law. However, if you are from a developing or third-world country then you have the added problem of corruption. 

Corrupt customs officials in your country will be scanning every document to find an error, and sometimes try to create a problem out of nothing. Make sure everything is correct so they can’t seize your goods and ask for a bribe to release them.
