On 14 March 2018, the Transport and Logistics Working Group with the Indonesia Logistics and Forwarder Association (ALFI) organized a joint assessment with other cargo industry’s players on Minister of Finance Regulation No. 159/PMK.04/2017 on the Delivery of Inward Notices, Inward Manifests and Outward Manifests.

Few airlines and ground handling agent were invited to share expertise and technical knowledge regarding the current inward cargo manifest procedures, particularly in the airfreight side. The aim is to jointly formulate recommendations to improve current procedures and prevent potential delays due to redress issues, which apparently can be caused due to the use of different electronic systems by all parties involved such as airlines as the carrier, ground handling agent, Customs, and the forwarders.
