Import Automatic Packaging Machines

How to Import Automatic Packaging Machines to Jakarta – PIB, HS 8422, and Legal Permits

🎯 Demand for Packaging Automation Is Rising – Importers Need Legal Readiness

Packaging machines—especially automatic ones—are heavily imported by the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. But many importers fail in customs clearance due to HS code mismatch, missing PIB, or lack of Kemenperin documents.

Keenam International helps you legally import these units with end-to-end freight and compliance support.
