The Electronic Customs Declaration (ECD) is an official digital customs form that all travelers entering Indonesia must complete prior to arrival. It replaces the traditional paper customs declaration form (BC 2.2) and ensures declarations for personal items, cash, and restricted goods are submitted in advance.

The review, confirmation, and approval process are managed solely by the Government of Indonesia through its immigration authorities.

Indonesia ECD Outcome

Once submitted, the ECD is processed by the Indonesian government's official customs system. Travelers typically receive an email confirmation once their submission has been successfully received.

Successful Declaration

When accepted, the ECD is digitally linked to the traveler's passport by Indonesian customs authorities. There is no need to present a printed copy unless requested — a new ECD must be completed for each entry into Indonesia, ideally within 72 hours before arrival.

Issues or Errors

If there are problems with the ECD—such as missing or incorrect information—the authorities may request corrections or a resubmission. Incorrect or false declarations may result in inspection delays, fines, or other legal consequences under Indonesian customs regulations.
