Shipping between Qatar and Indonesia requires careful documentation and compliance with customs regulations to ensure smooth transit and clearance. Yes2Qatar, a professional freight forwarder and customs broker in Qatar, ensures that all export paperwork is accurately prepared and processed, minimizing potential delays. Below is a detailed guide to the essential documentation required for shipping between these two countries.

Bill of Lading (Sea Freight) Air Waybill (Air Freight): These documents serve as proof of shipment, outlining cargo details, shipper and consignee information, and the chosen transport mode. Yes2Qatar ensures that all necessary shipping documents are completed correctly to prevent transit disruptions.

Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) Number: If applicable, this reference helps customs authorities track shipments efficiently and facilitates customs clearance.

For goods exported from Qatar, the following documents must be in place

Commercial Invoice: A document detailing product descriptions, HS codes, unit pricing, total shipment value, and applicable currency. Yes2Qatar ensures invoices comply with Qatars customs documentation regulations.

Packing List: A breakdown of shipment details, including weight, dimensions, and packaging type, which assists customs officials in processing shipments efficiently.

Certificate of Origin (CoO): This document certifies the country of manufacture and must be issued by the Qatar Chamber of Commerce. Yes2Qatar assists in obtaining and legalizing this certificate when required.

Export Declaration (Qatar): A required submission to Qatari customs before the shipment departs. Yes2Qatar ensures smooth processing to prevent clearance issues.

Product Conformity Certificate (CoC) (If Required): Certain regulated products, such as medical equipment, industrial machinery, and electrical appliances, may require a CoC to confirm compliance with export regulations. Yes2Qatar provides guidance on whether this document is necessary.

Yes2Qatar does not handle customs clearance in Indonesia, so importers must ensure they have the necessary documentation for Indonesian customs authorities.

Import License (If Required): Certain regulated goods, including pharmaceuticals, food products, and chemicals, require an import license from Indonesian authorities before shipment.

Customs Import Declaration: This document must be submitted to Indonesias Directorate General of Customs and Excise before the shipment can be cleared for entry.

Declaration of Customs Value: A required document confirming the declared value of the shipment for taxation and customs duty purposes.

Indonesia National Standard (SNI) Certification (If Applicable): Certain imported goods, such as electrical appliances, automotive parts, and building materials, may require SNI certification to meet Indonesias safety and quality standards.

Packing List: A document outlining shipment specifications, including the number of packages, weight, and type of packaging, required for customs clearance.

Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) (If Required): Some shipments entering Indonesia may require a CTN for tracking purposes. Importers should confirm whether this document is necessary.

Terminal Handling Receipts: Proof that the cargo has been received and processed at the arrival terminal, necessary for customs clearance in Indonesia.

Phytosanitary Certificate: Required for agricultural and plant-based shipments to ensure compliance with Indonesias health and safety regulations. Yes2Qatar assists in securing this certification from Qatari authorities before export.

Veterinary Certificate: Necessary for shipments containing animal-based goods to ensure they meet Indonesias import health standards.

Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) Indonesia: Some regulated imports, including used machinery, industrial equipment, and food products, may require pre-shipment inspection. Importers should verify PSI requirements before shipping to prevent customs clearance delays.

Legalization of Documents: Some documents, such as the Commercial Invoice and Certificate of Origin, may need to be legalized by the Indonesian embassy or consulate before export. Yes2Qatar provides document legalization assistance for exporters in Qatar.

Labeling Requirements: Goods imported into Indonesia must be properly labeled, including product descriptions, manufacturer details, country of origin, and expiration dates for perishable goods. Yes2Qatar ensures compliance with these regulations before shipment.

Restricted Prohibited Imports: Indonesia has specific import restrictions on hazardous materials, used consumer goods, and restricted chemicals. Importers must verify compliance with local regulations before finalizing shipments.
