Summary

Improving Role of Bonded Logistic Center in Order to Support Logistics Activity Effectively and Efficiently

Speaker : Mrs. Ety Puspitasari, SE (President of Bonded Logistic Center)

Location : STMT Trisakti

Bonded Logistic Center(BLC) or in Indonesian means Pusat Logistik Berikat(PLB) is a place to stockfilling from outside the customs clan area or goods that originaly came from the customs area, can be accompanied by one (1) or more modest activity in a given period of time to be re-issued. BLC was made because of some issues, first is about dweling time in a port and the second is the high cost in logistic activity.

Dweling time in port usually happens because:

- there is so many overlapping rules.

- there is also because of some dirty people (bad)

The high cost happens because of Inbound and Outbond activity that not condusive, every goods that heads to Indonesia always transit in Singapore which means there will have more cost, wasting time, and also the risk of goods for lost/broke is high.

Because of that the government make a decision to raising the cost of stockfilling in port and Mr. Joko Widodo (President of Indonesia) make Bonded Logistic Center official on 10^th March, 2016.

In the first period there are 11 companies in BLC, the second period or in 19^th October, 2016 there will be more 17 companies and hopefully there will be 50 companies at the end of this year.

 The advantages of BLC:

• With BLC, the goods that come in port can be out from port at that time or just in one day.

• BLC has been given an authority by customs duty to keep an import or export goods. And the goods flow will be monitored by them through CCTV, so the goods condition will be known.

• The limit time to storage goods in BLC is 3 + + + or 3 years or can be more than 3 years if we extending it with some terms and conditions.

• the company who storage the goods doesn’t have to be the company who owns the goods.

• Impor goods tax can be postpone until the goods out or sold from BLC.

• Postpone of VAT (Value Added Tax)
• When the goods come to BLC there will be no tax, the goods can become a stock in BLC. We can pay the tax when the goods is going to bel sold to consumers, if we sell one goods the tax is also for one goods not for every goods that we safe/keep in BLC. If our forecasting is wrong we can sell it again without another additional cost.
