Indonesia
Everybody who is visiting Indonesia now should be
aware of strict Indonesian customs regulations.
Explicitely, it is prohibited to bring cell phones
(hand phones) and radio equipment into Indonesia. The
respective regulations may date back to a time when
such equipment was less common. Nevertheless, the
prohibition of such items is clearly printed on the
customs declaration form which one has to fill in when
one enters Indonesia.
Furthermore, anybody who brings in equipment in the
value of more than 250 US dollars should definitely
declare such items on the form.
Visitors to Indonesia should be aware that Indonesia
has some of the strictest laws in the world. Half a
gram of marihuana can easily earn 5 years in prison.
Furthermore, the Indonesian police routinely subjects
people in entertainment venues, but also at hotels
(even 5-star hotels), to urine analysis tests to
detect drug use. A positive result can mean months in
a court, and after that, months in prison, even if the
drug consumption dates back to a time when a person
wasn't even in Indonesia.
But laws are not just strict for drug-related
offences. Not declaring items on customs forms is a
crime, not just in Indonesia. Customs regulations may
be stricter, and legal penalties more severe, but that
is a risk one takes when travelling to the country.
That regulations are overly strict is no excuse for
breaking the law.
As a foreigner, do not try to bribe Indonesian customs
officials! Please see the image of the customs
declaration form for further details.
