SKI Import

Import approval (SKI) from BPOMFor notified cosmetics the importer applies for an SKI; under the post-border scheme it may be issued before or after the goods leave customs. Unverified: from BPOM’s 2020 FAQ; we did not read the current import rule.BPOM FAQ on SKI, SKE and SAS (2020)
Nothing ships before the numberThe import approval is for notified cosmetics, so this line waits for the BPOM line to finish.BPOM FAQ on SKI, SKE and SAS (2020)
