TAIWAN-based global freight and transportation specialist Dimerco says it is working closely with local strategic alliance partner PT Uniair Indotama Cargo to provide a wide range of logistics services in Indonesia, particularly from Batam, where the free trade zone (FTZ) is proving beneficial to Taiwan-based companies.
?Our customs clearance brokerage service offers a window for import and export products, connecting Indonesia with the rest of the world,?said Dimerco CEO Edward Lin.
?The whole process of moving products to market is critical and our strength in Indonesia - from freight forwarding, customs clearance, warehousing, value-added services and last mile delivery for cross-border e-commerce - is delivering a key competitive advantage at this challenging time,?he said.
With a domestic network in Indonesia including 100 branches and agents, delivering to 3,000 districts and destinations, PT Uniair Indotama Cargo currently operates in Jakarta - including airport and seaport offices - as well in Surabaya, Batam Island and Semarang.
As an FTZ, Batam Island is under the generalized system of preferences (GSP) and is exempt from import duties, sales tax, VAT, luxury goods tax, divergence and customs. It is also situated close to Singapore, which provides a convenient gateway to ship freight to surrounding countries without incurring taxes.
Said Mr Lin: ?We have near 30 years?experience operating in Indonesia, so our knowledge and network make the inbound and outbound process from and to Batam easy for our customers. With our Jakarta office, we can connect to the rest of Indonesia and via Dimerco?s Singapore office, connect to the rest of the world.
