Verification note (2026-09-26)
Chinese 8311.20 covers cored wire of base metal, for electric arc-welding; the alloy-steel line is what we filed. Indonesian BTKI 8311.20.21 is the alloy-steel cored-wire line. 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. No border, post-border or export Lartas was recorded — a "clean code", in clear contrast with the pipe and fitting codes in the same batch, which all require PI + LS. The ACFTA page lists only the 2023 rate of 0%; 2026 is not listed. Keywords: welding wire, cored wire, flux-cored.
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 83112000 in Indonesia?
Our INSW lookup on 2026-09-26 read BM 5% (MFN) for Indonesian BTKI 83112021. 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 83112000?
Not exactly: China files 83112000 while Indonesia uses 8-digit BTKI 83112021. The Indonesian subheading wording — not the Chinese code — decides the outcome.
Does HS 83112000 carry Lartas import restrictions?
No. No border, post-border or export Lartas was recorded at our 2026-09-26 lookup — this is a "clean code" that can be filed directly. Lartas lists are updated regularly, so it is confirmed again at each filing.
Does this code need a PI licence or LS inspection?
No. Unlike the steel pipe and fitting codes in chapter 73, this welding-wire code carries no border restriction — no PI import licence and no LS pre-shipment inspection. That is a deliberate contrast worth knowing when planning a mixed shipment.
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, roughly 11% effective. Final figures follow the official processing result.
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. Read the preferential rate per year and per subheading on INSW before filing, and keep the FORM E 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. Licensing lists change, so resale plans are re-confirmed with the PPJK at each shipment.
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 composition of the wire — then have the PPJK confirm against the official database on the filing date.
