The Emergency Response Licensing Application or simply known as BNPB Recommendation

Due to the pandemic of COVID-19, Indonesian government has taken the initiative to grant Indonesian importers, fiscal and non-fiscal facilities, with the aim of satisfying the supplies or reserves of goods deemed to be essential to combat COVID-19, such as hand sanitizers, disinfectant products, test kit, vitamins, and medical equipment and personal protective equipment

In the term of fiscal facilities, under MoF Regulation Number 34 Year 2020, Indonesian government grant Indonesian importers an exemption from customs and/or excise duties.

And in the term of non-fiscal facilities, Indonesian government eases the import procedures. It means that, importing medical equipment needed to treat Covid-19 patients now no longer requires a distribution permit, only a permit exemption recommendation from the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB). Previously, imports of medical equipment require the distribution permit or SAS from the Health Ministry.

The request of the permit exemption recommendation from the BNPB and the fiscal facilities from Directorate General of Customs and Excise are processed electronically through the Indonesia National Single Window since March, 20, 2020. Importers just need to fill in the application form and upload required documents, according to the application type and then the applicants will be able to monitor the progress of application through the tracking feature. The Indonesia National Single Window System has helped improve efficiency in medical equipment import activities through its service contribution.

According to Presidential Instruction in the framework of structuring the National Logistic Ecosystem, Indonesia National Single Window (INSW) is now acting as the integrator of logistics service systems among ministries/agencies systems. This integration aims to simplify business process between related ministries/agencies, so that public access to logistics services is much more easier and efficient.

One of INSW services in this National Logistic Ecosystem framework is called Single Submission of Quarantine and Customs - Joint Inspection (SSm QCJI). Using this single submission platform on INSW portal, this would allow traders to submit data through INSW System (SINSW) and allow for joint inspection between customs and excise and quarantine authority. This service improves business processes by reducing repetition and duplication activities that have been occurring so far and also reduce the logistics cost.

Since it was first implemented in Belawan Port, North Sumatera in 2020, SSm QCJI has now also been implemented in three other major ports: Tanjung Emas Port in Central Java, Tanjung Perak Port in East Java, and Tanjung Priok Port in Jakarta.

Furthermore, in order to boost national economic growth, especially the industrial sector, as well as boost export performances amid Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesia National Single Window Agency (LNSW) provides single submission for the export permit of medical equipment as stipulated in Minister of Trade Regulation Number 57 Year 2020. Through this application, manufacturers can apply for the export permit via SINSW by providing required documents in order to be granted export approval. In the term of import, LNSW also provides single submission for importing COVID-19 vaccine for the purpose of combating the COVID-19 pandemic.
