Yogyakarta Customs has facilitated the export of 41 cartons of sliced tobacco (TIS) from PT Taru Martani to Japan on March 5, 2025. According to Riri Riani, Head of Public Relations and Information Services at Yogyakarta Customs, the shipment was granted a duty-free facility in line with Law No. 39 of 2007 on Excise, which exempts exported tobacco products from excise duties.
This initiative supports Indonesia’s export growth, particularly in the tobacco industry, which has strong potential in international markets. Strict inspection procedures ensured compliance with excise regulations before the goods were sealed and shipped via Tanjung Emas Port in Semarang. The export, valued at USD 7,912.77 (over IDR 125 million), includes 7,170 packs of PT Taru Martani’s top brands—Violin, Virgin, and Royal Bourbon. Yogyakarta Customs remains committed to enhancing domestic industries' global competitiveness through excellent service and facilitation.
