PT Bali Turtle Island Development (BTID), as the Development and Management Business Entity of Kura Kura Bali Special Economic Zone (SEZ), together with the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC), has officially commenced the operation of the Customs Area and Customs Office within the Kura Kura Bali Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
The presence of this facility opens new opportunities to accelerate investment realization, particularly in the sectors of quality tourism and the creative industry. It also provides legal certainty, transparency, and convenience for business players.
The symbolic inauguration of the Customs Area and Customs Office at Kura Kura Bali SEZ was attended by Dr. drh. Luh Ayu Aryani, Assistant for Economic and Development Affairs to the Regional Secretary of Bali Province; Iyan Rubianto, Head of the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise for Bali, NTB, and NTT; I Made Aryana, Head of the Denpasar Type A Intermediate Customs and Excise Supervision and Service Office; Ida Bagus Anom Suryadiputra, Head of the Administrator Office for Sanur and Kura Kura Bali SEZ; and Tuti Hadiputranto, President Director of PT Bali Turtle Island Development.
In her remarks, Tuti Hadiputranto expressed her deep appreciation to all parties who have supported the realization of this facility.
“For us, this Customs Area is not merely a facility to obtain SEZ incentives, but also a strategic achievement and an important milestone in the development of Kura Kura Bali SEZ, as we continue to open more opportunities for responsible investment.”
Tuti believes that with a more streamlined, effective, and efficient customs process, business players will be able to experience clear and measurable benefits in carrying out their activities within Kura Kura Bali SEZ.
Full support from the government was emphasized by Iyan Rubianto, Head of the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise for Bali, NTB, and NTT. He explained that the facility serves a balanced dual function: providing customs services while strengthening customs supervision.
“The presence of this Customs Area and Customs Office is a concrete manifestation of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise’s commitment to providing fast, easy, and transparent services for business players. At the same time, it also strengthens the supervisory function to ensure that every activity is carried out in accordance with regulations,” said Iyan.
Iyan further explained that, as a form of the government’s concrete support for Kura Kura Bali SEZ, customs facilities have so far been granted in the form of import duty exemptions amounting to IDR 2.6 billion, as well as non-collected Import-Related Taxes (PDRI) amounting to IDR 5.7 billion.
In line with this, I Made Aryana, Head of the Denpasar Type A Intermediate Customs and Excise Supervision and Service Office, emphasized that fiscal incentives within the SEZ serve as an ultimate facility with broad benefits.
I Made Aryana stated:
“The Customs Area within this SEZ already has the legal authority to provide ultimate facilities such as import duty exemptions and non-collected PDRI. Our services have also been integrated with the Indonesia National Single Window (INSW) system, with coordination from the central to regional levels, allowing both document and physical inspections to run quickly, smoothly, and accurately.”
With the operation of the Customs Area and Customs Office, the synergy that has been established among the central government, regional government, SEZ Administrator, business entity, and business players is expected to grow even stronger.
This integrated collaboration serves as a key driver in facilitating business activities, accelerating area development, and enhancing investment competitiveness. The synergy is also expected to generate a multiplier effect for Bali’s economic growth in an inclusive and sustainable manner.
