Can you bring medication to Indonesia?

• Medication

  allowed, must be declared

  Indonesian Customs (Direktorat Jenderal Bea dan Cukai) passenger-baggage guidance, citing regulation PMK 34/2025 (amending PMK 203/2017), lists 'obat-obatan' (medicines) — alongside narcotics, psychotropics, and precursors — as a category that must go through the red-lane (mandatory physical inspection) channel rather than the green (no-inspection) lane when declared via the passenger Electronic Customs Declaration (ECD) at ecd.beacukai.go.id.

  Confirmed directly from Indonesian Customs' own passenger-baggage page, which names PMK 34/2025 and PMK 203/2017. It does not give a numeric quantity limit for non-controlled medicine, only that medicines trigger mandatory physical inspection; travelers should carry medicines in original packaging with a prescription/doctor's letter, especially for quantities that could look like more than personal use.

  Also covers: medication, prescription medicine, over-the-counter medicine, otc medicine, personal medication
