Codeine (Medication) → Indonesia

Codeine (Medication) may require documentation or declaration

Details

Codeine in Indonesia is a Group III Psikotropika substance under the Psychotropic Drugs Act. Travelers may carry a 30-day personal supply with original prescription and a doctor's letter; quantities above 30 days require pre-arrival permit from Badan POM (BPOM). Bea Cukai at major airports inspects medication-bearing luggage; without documentation, carriage is treated as smuggling. Enforcement in Indonesia carries fines from IDR 1,000,000 to IDR 100,000,000 under Law No. 17/2006 on Customs Art. 82 (ordinary personal cases are handled as civil infringements). Leaving Indonesia with codeine (medication) is a separate question — restricted: Codeine is a controlled opioid analgesic subject to personal-export limits when leaving Indonesia.
