One of them is choosing a four-wheeled vehicle such as a private car. Even though Indonesia has many automotive companies with various interesting products, but not everyone wants to have it.
To be able to fulfill someone's desire in choosing a car, quite a few people import goods. Especially for lovers of the automotive world. Always thirsty and wanting good things, good in terms of specifications, performance and appearance.
One thing that is increasingly being chosen is bringing in cars from abroad. Even though it's used, doesn't mean you can buy it easily. This is like if you want a used car from a foreign embassy in Indonesia. There are several special requirements that must previously be met.
Managing the customs bureaucracy, which is considered complicated, must be carried out. It is for this reason why there are no used car dealers or brokers from abroad. How to buy a car from abroad is quite difficult. Not all dream used cars can be found at used car showrooms.
Ministry of Industry Regulations Regarding Used Car Imports
Imports of used capital goods can be carried out as long as they meet the applicable requirements. The legal basis is contained in the Minister of Industry Regulation Number 14 year 2016 concerning Technical Criteria for the Import of Capital Goods in a Condition that is Not New.
This Minister of Industry Regulation was issued as a follow-up to Regulation of the Minister of Trade Number 127 year 2015 Concerning Provisions for the Import of Capital Goods in a Condition that is Not New. Capital goods in question are goods used as business capital or to produce something that is still suitable for use or to be reconditioned, remanufakturing, or put back into use.
Types of used capital goods that can be imported include those for the needs of the land transportation industry group, maritime industry, electronics and telematics industry, as well as the machinery industry. Companies that are allowed to import used capital goods, including being required to have an industrial business permit, company profile, plans and reasons for utilizing used capital goods.
Based on these two regulations, we can conclude that the government only gives the green light to import vehicles that are not for personal use. Existing regulations prohibit the import of intact used cars. That's why many traders work around this by having their cars mutilated or stripped down first so they can be considered spare parts.
