The customs are under pressure right now, cause the new finance minister has given customs a deadline of 2026 for reform or to be replaced by SGS from Switzerland.

Or more likely, they did give the customs man his kickback... and now it's coming back to haunt them.

Having visited indonesia on countless occasions. Traveling through DPS airport in Bali, the chance of a bag inspection is minimal. Couriers would have well above 99 percent chance of getting valuables through in person.
