📝 Important Notes
- •⚠️ CONDITIONAL — quarantine permit for fresh meat; processed meat declared
- •Indonesia's Quarantine Agency (Barantin) controls animal products at the border under the 2019 Quarantine Law:
- •Prohibited without a permit: fresh, chilled or frozen meat and poultry of any kind — travellers cannot obtain the permit, so it is confiscated
- •Declare, usually allowed: commercially canned or vacuum-sealed processed meat (corned beef, sausages, jerky) in small personal quantities, in original labelled packaging
- •Halal sensitivity: Indonesia is the world's largest Muslim-majority country; pork products are legal for non-Muslims but are inspected more closely and can be refused. Bali is more relaxed than Jakarta
- •Products from countries with active foot-and-mouth or ASF outbreaks may be refused outright
- •Enforcement: Barantin desks and X-ray at Jakarta, Bali and Surabaya; the electronic customs declaration asks about animal products. Undeclared items are seized; fines under the Quarantine Law are possible for larger quantities.
- •Advice: Declare every meat product. Better still, bring none — Indonesian rendang, sate and dendeng cover every craving.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What should I consider when bringing Poultry?
The most important thing when bringing Poultry is to confirm if it exceeds the duty-free allowance or declaration threshold of your destination. It's recommended to keep purchase receipts and ensure Poultry is in its original packaging for easier customs inspection. If the Poultry is of high value, always use the red declaration channel.
❓ More Questions
Can I bring pork products into Bali?
Legally yes for personal use, if commercially sealed and declared — Bali's Hindu majority eats pork and babi guling is a local speciality. Fresh pork is still confiscated (quarantine), and a large quantity of sausages or ham looks commercial. Declare it on the e-CD form.
Is Australian beef jerky allowed into Indonesia?
Yes in personal quantities — Australia is a major approved beef supplier to Indonesia, and sealed retail jerky declared on the customs form is normally released. Keep the packaging intact.
