How to Import Used Excavators to Indonesia

Importing used excavators to Indonesia

Tanjung Priok in Jakarta is Indonesia's largest port, serving Java and the whole country.

Inspect first

Cold-start video, hydraulic movement, undercarriage photos and nameplate. For remote used-equipment purchases, video is the baseline.

Ask for CIF Jakarta

Machine price and sea freight should be listed separately. Small and mid-size excavators ship by container or flat rack.

Customs and taxes

Confirm import duty, VAT (PPN) and clearance documents, and build these into your landed cost before you commit.

Send the right inquiry

State model, tonnage, year and hours, destination port, and whether you need FOB or CIF.
