Import Duty Calculation for Home Appliances
Importing a container of home appliances into Indonesia involves import duty and tax calculation.
Every product has an HS (Harmonized System) code. This code determines the import duty rate. Import duties are a percentage of the CIF value (Cost, Insurance, and Freight), based on the HS code.
Below are some common HS codes for home appliances:
HS Codes for Home Appliances
| Product Type | HS Code |
| Washing Machines | 8450.20 |
| Refrigerators | 8418.21 |
| Air Conditioners | 8415.10 |
| Microwave Ovens | 8516.50 |
| Dishwashers | 8422.11 |
| Vacuum Cleaners | 8508.11 |
| Electric Ovens | 8516.60 |
Note that! Import duties are calculated based on the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) price, not just the cost of the products.
