However, how much money do we have to spend if we want to buy an iPhone in Singapore and bring it to Indonesia?
Indonesian citizens who buy cellphones from abroad and then bring them to Indonesia are counted as imported passenger baggage. As for imports of inland passenger goods
The Directorate General of Customs and Excise reminds buyers to immediately register their IMEI upon arrival to Indonesia. Cellphone registration can be done at ecd.beacukai.go.id or directly click the following link.
The following is a simulation of purchasing an iPhone 15 128 GB in Singapore for an example price of US$ 799. In this simulation, an Indonesian citizen immediately bought the iPhone in Singapore and brought it to Indonesia as passenger luggage. The import duties and taxes imposed are 10% import duty, 11% Value Added Tax (VAT), 10% Income Tax (PPh) for taxpayers who have a NPWP and 20% for taxpayers who do not have a NPWP.
The government provides an exemption or no import duty, VAT and PPh for mobile phone products priced at US$ 500 or the equivalent of Rp. 7.5 million, assuming an exchange rate of Rp. 15,000.
The following is a simulation of calculating the price of an iPhone 15 with a capacity of 128 GB after being subject to import duties and taxes:
Item Price: 1,299 Singapore dollars or the equivalent of IDR 14.6 million
Exemption: US$ 500 or Rp. 7.5 million.
Value of goods subject to import duties and taxes or customs: IDR 7.1 million
Import duty: 10% x IDR 7.1 million = IDR 710,000
Import value = Customs value + import duties = IDR 7.1 million + IDR 710,000 = IDR 7.81 million
VAT = 10% x import value = 10% x IDR 7.81 million = IDR 781,000
PPh (having NPW) = 10% x import value = 10% x IDR 7.81 million = IDR 781,000
PPh (not having NPWP) = 20% import value = 10% x IDR 7.81 million = IDR 1,562,000
Total taxes and import duties that must be paid:
Have NPWP = IDR 2,272,000
Does not have NPWP = IDR 3,053,000
Thus, the total price of an iPhone 15 with a capacity of 128 GB if brought from Singapore into the country taking into account import duties and taxes is around IDR 16.87 million if it has a NPWP and IDR 17.65 million if it does not have a NPWP.
