Fields marked "not retrieved"
- * "Not retrieved" means this exact lookup did not cover the field. It is not zero and not "none" — it must be re-checked before filing.
- Every figure on this page is the reading captured at a specific INSW lookup on 2026-09-24, kept verbatim for AEO traceability.
- Nothing on this page is rounded, averaged or extrapolated from other codes.
Lartas — import restrictions
- ⚠️ Border Lartas is triggered for this code: a PI import licence plus LS pre-shipment inspection under Permendag No. 16/2025 and its amendments. This code is not "no restriction" — both must be secured before the goods ship, or clearance is refused.
- No post-border Lartas was recorded.
- Most chapter-73 steel codes carry no border restriction; this one has to be confirmed on its own and never lumped in with plain pipe or sections.
Legal sources named in the lookup
The lookup cited these legal sources:
- Permendag No. 16/2025 (PI / LS)
- PMK 50/2026

Verification note (2026-09-24)
Chinese 7307.99 covers tube or pipe fittings of iron or steel (other); the Indonesian BTKI line 7307.99.10 reads "other fittings of iron or steel", which the trade calls a tee. China files 7307.99.00 (same first six digits). BM 5% (MFN) / PPN 12% (statutory; effectively 11% for non-luxury goods per PMK-131/2024) / PPh 22 2.5% (API) · 7.5% (non-API); PPnBM N/A. Border Lartas is triggered: PI import licence + LS pre-shipment inspection under Permendag 16/2025; no post-border Lartas. The ACFTA page lists only the 2023 rate of 0%; 2026 is not listed. Keywords: fittings, joints, tee.
Before you file this code
- Re-check the 8-digit BTKI wording on the official INSW database (insw.go.id) on the filing date — the Indonesian subheading wording decides, not the Chinese code.
- Run the code through our HS & Lartas check tool and compare the reading with this page.
- Have the licensed PPJK confirm the entry — the Indonesia Import Guide explains the whole filing chain.
- If the goods are used or refurbished, say so up front: several capital-goods lines carry used-equipment licences (PI/LS) that new units do not.

Frequently asked questions
What is the import duty (BM) for HS 73079900 in Indonesia?
Our INSW lookup on 2026-09-24 read BM 5% (MFN) for Indonesian BTKI 73079910. Tariff lines change with new regulations, so the rate in force on the filing date always prevails.
Is the Indonesian code the same as the Chinese code 73079900?
Not exactly: China files 73079900 while Indonesia uses 8-digit BTKI 73079910. The Indonesian subheading wording — not the Chinese code — decides the outcome.
Does HS 73079900 carry Lartas import restrictions?
Yes — this code triggers border Lartas: a PI import licence plus LS pre-shipment inspection under Permendag 16/2025, which must be secured before shipment. No post-border Lartas was recorded. Unlike most chapter-73 steel codes, this one is not "no restriction".
What VAT (PPN) applies to this import?
The lookup read PPN 12% — the statutory rate. For non-luxury goods the taxable base (DPP) is 11/12 of the import value per PMK-131/2024, which works out to roughly 11% effective. Final figures follow the official processing result.
What is the PPh 22 rate for this code?
The standard split: PPh 22 2.5% with an API import licence and 7.5% without one. Which importer name is on the entry therefore changes the cost.
Can FORM E / ACFTA lower the duty for this code?
ACFTA (FORM E) was referenced for this line under PMK 46/PMK.010/2022; the INSW record shows the 2023 rate of 0%, with 2026 not yet listed. Preferential rates must be read per year and per subheading on INSW before filing, and the FORM E certificate must be original and consistent with the invoice.
Do post-border rules affect resale in Indonesia?
No post-border licence was recorded for this code at our lookup. The border rules (PI + LS) apply before clearance, not after it.
Who should make the final classification call?
The licensed PPJK (customs broker) files the entry and answers to Indonesian Customs. Use this page to prepare — check the 8-digit BTKI, the goods description and the condition of the goods — then have the PPJK confirm against the official database on the filing date.
