The Director-General of Customs and Excise has now mandated the use of Electronic Seals ("E-Seals") in an effort to improve the monitoring of imported and/or exported goods during their transportation. E-Seals must be provided by customs service users (which include importers, exporters and transporters) and/or appointed providers of E-Seals. In practice, E-Seals must be attached to goods prior to their departure and must be removed upon arrival, with exceptions only allowed during network disruptions that prevent the use of E-Seals.

The relevant activities and obligations of five new categories of postal service have now been clarified in detail, including the requirement to provide specific facilities and infrastructure such as service outlets, warehouses and means of transportation. Organizers of written communication/electronic mail services, as well as parcel and logistics services are now required to operate across at least 50% of Indonesian provinces and must also operate certified information security management systems.

The Amendment clarifies that incentives for businesses importing four-wheeled, battery-powered, electric motor vehicles ("BEV"), either in a completely built-up ("CBU") or completely knocked-down ("CKD") state, are now limited to businesses importing BEVs from countries with trade agreements or treaties with Indonesia. Moreover, the Amendment now allows businesses to modify previously issued import incentive approvals under certain conditions (e.g. if no changes have been made to the relevant BEV details and only specific technical specifications have been altered).

The Third Amendment has adjusted a wide range of shipping aspects, from the organization of marine transportation and ports to institutional governance. Among the various adjustments set out under this revised framework, the Third Amendment stipulates that several types of marine transportation services can now be offered by private business entities in coordination with central and/or regional governments (e.g. traditional shipping, pioneer shipping and marine transportation for public service purposes).

Commodities that can be categorized as certain goods ("Certain Goods") will be determined by the relevant technical agencies working with the Minister of Finance ("Minister") and the Minister of Trade through the issuance of Regulations that specifically address the list of Certain Goods for which transportation is supervised within customs areas. In addition, determinations of Certain Goods will be reported to the Minister through the Director-General of Customs and Excise ("Director-General") for the purpose of review. All carriers (pengangkut) of Goods must notify customs officials through customs offices that are located in the relevant loading and unloading ports using the Customs Notification for Certain Goods (Pemberitahuan Pabean Barang Tertentu "PPBT").

Furthermore, certain shipping-related services that are organized by foreign citizens, marine transportation companies or businesses must now work in cooperation with national marine companies that are established via joint-venture schemes. Meanwhile, the majority of the shares in said national companies must be owned by Indonesian-owned national marine companies

Proficiency Tests comprise one of the phases that are required to be completed by Security Personnel candidates in order to ultimately secure their Personnel Licenses. Airport Operators or Training Institutions that organize said Proficiency Tests are now also required to provide computers in amounts that are equivalent to the number of Proficiency Test participants in addition to the originally mandated test facilities (e.g. testing rooms, high-speed interest access, videoconferencing devices and so forth). In addition, any candidates who wish to secure Junior Licenses or Senior Licenses are no longer required to complete individual examination practical tests as a part of their Proficiency Tests

This regulation establishes a set of rules on the implementation of the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea and its various amendments ("SOLAS Convention") aboard ships that are flying the Indonesian state flag and/or foreign ships that are sailing through Indonesian territorial waters. Said rules are therefore important for shipping companies, business entities that are acting as ship owners and businesses that operate ships in Indonesian waters.
