Bali E-Customs Declaration 2026: How to Fill It Out

Bottom line first: The eCD electronic customs declaration form must be filled out online on the Indonesian Customs website (ecd.beacukai.go.id) before departure. It can only be completed within 3 days before your flight (if you fill it out too early, the system won’t let you select the date). Once completed, you’ll receive a QR Code for scanning upon arrival. All arriving passengers (including Indonesian citizens) must fill it out, regardless of whether they have items to declare.

What is the Bali Electronic Customs Declaration Form?

The Bali Electronic Customs Declaration Form (eCD) is a digital customs form that the Indonesian government requires all arriving passengers to complete. This system replaces the traditional paper version, allowing travelers to fill out and submit their information online before arriving in Bali for faster clearance.

The form is primarily used to collect personal information, travel details, and whether you are carrying any items that need to be declared. Both foreign tourists and returning Indonesian citizens must complete this declaration.

How to Fill Out the Bali Customs Declaration Form?

Page 1:

First, switch the language to English in the top right corner, then read the instructions.

Page 2: Personal Information Fields

In the form, you need to fill in the following information:

• Passport Number (must match your passport exactly)
• Date of Arrival
• Place of Arrival (airport code; for Bali, it’s DPS / Ngurah Rai)
• Name on Passport (as it appears on your passport)
• Date of Birth
• Flight/Ship/Vehicle Number
• Passport Country (enter TW to quickly find Taiwan)
• Number of Baggage Arriving with You (total pieces including checked and carry-on luggage; a small backpack can be excluded)
• Family Arriving with You (number of accompanying family members, not including yourself; maximum of 10. If traveling with relatives, you must also fill in their passport and personal details)

The [+Add] button at the bottom right of the form allows you to add travel companions, up to 10 additional people.

Page 3: Declaring Prohibited or Restricted Items

Each item category has a ‘Yes / No’ option. If you select ‘Yes,’ you must provide additional details on quantity, value, and description. Common items that require declaration include animal and plant products, alcohol, tobacco, and more (see the list below for details).

IMEI Registration

The new eCD includes a question: ‘Do you intend to use a mobile phone, handheld computer, or tablet purchased abroad to connect to a local mobile network upon arrival in Indonesia?’

If your phone was purchased outside Indonesia and you plan to use an Indonesian SIM card for more than 90 days, you must select ‘Yes’ to register the IMEI. Short-term travelers (within 90 days) should select ‘No’.

✅ When to select ‘Yes’

• If you plan to stay in Indonesia for more than 90 days and want to use a local Indonesian SIM card, you must declare it. You’ll need to have customs officials at the airport assist you with IMEI registration and possible import tax payment.

❌ Select ‘No’ if:

• If you stay for less than 90 days and only use roaming or a short-term local SIM (for tourism), you don’t need to declare it, and IMEI registration won’t be enforced.
• Most short-term travelers, even those bringing phones, select ‘No’ without any issues.
• Indonesian-based Taiwanese friends who bought their phones locally also select ‘No’.
