Law Number 10 of 1995 concerning Customs as amended by Law Number 17 of 2006 concerning Amendment to Law Number 10 of 1995 concerning Customs stipulates that the Directorate General of Customs and Excise is authorized to control the traffic of goods entering into or going out from the customs area. However, in view of the geographical location of Indonesia as an archipelagic country whose waters border neighboring countries, there have been frequent acts committed by inter insular transport operators to smuggle subsidized goods, or goods whose export is restricted/forbidden.
To prevent the misdeeds, Law Number 10 of 1995 concerning Customs as amended by Law Number 17 of 2006 concerning Amendment to Law Number 10 of 1995 concerning Customs authorizes the Directorate General of Customs and Excise to conduct the control on the seaborne transport of specified goods.
The authority is given to the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, provided a relevant technical agency makes a request to the Directorate General of Customs and Excise to conduct the control on the transport of specified goods.
