Indonesia import rules, explained

Indonesia runs a strict import regime, so every document is checked closely on arrival. Build your plan around the fixed waiting periods, because they set the pace for everything else.

Practical tips for this move

Check the airline’s crate size and labelling rules early. An undersized or wrongly labelled crate is a frequent reason pets are refused at check-in.

Ask about temperature embargoes for your travel window. Summer and winter cargo restrictions can rule out certain routes and dates entirely.

Book the titre test laboratory well ahead. Approved labs have limited slots and the sample takes time to process, so this is not something to leave to the final weeks.

Microchip before you vaccinate. The microchip must be in place before the rabies shot for the vaccination to count, and getting this order wrong is the most common and costly mistake.

FAQ

Common questions

BARANTAN approves specific quarantine entry points and facilities. CGK (Soekarno-Hatta) handles most international pet cargo arrivals and is the primary quarantine point. Other approved entry points exist, but CGK is where most Italy-to-Indonesia cargo arrives. Your import permit will specify the approved entry point.
The blood draw must be done in Italy by your vet. The sample is sent to a BARANTAN-approved laboratory for analysis. Italian vets who work with international pet transport agents will know which laboratories are approved for Indonesian import. Results typically take 5 to 14 working days.
The ASL (local health authority) veterinary services endorse the health certificate on behalf of the Italian Ministry of Health. The format required by BARANTAN may be different from the standard EU health certificate format used for EU travel. Your vet and agent need to ensure the certificate format aligns with BARANTAN’s current requirements. Some BARANTAN permits specify the exact certificate format.
Quarantine facility costs in Indonesia vary and change periodically. The only reliable way to get current costs is to check with the BARANTAN facility directly or through your pet transport agent. Budget for facility fees, daily care, veterinary checks during the 30-day stay, and any additional health treatments required during quarantine.
