I think exchange rate also plays a part here. The last time I was in Jakarta, prices in SG were cheaper after GST refund.
Does anyone know if I ship bag directly from Hermes to my home in Indonesia, how much duty do I have to pay? Is there any way around it? I would appreciate the help for anyone who has info
Thanks a bunch

Hi chanel_luv, i might not be that helpful... but based on my friend's experience who shop online from a UK store, she wasn't charged w/ anything when her package was delivered to her house. however her friend was charged about 20thou and the package was held at the post office.. so i guess it depends on the price of the item, courier and service? I know someone who can help if you are using EMS (which will be less likely i guess?)
Though I think it's very risky to ship it to indo since H bag cost quite a lot n will be considered as luxury item..they're charging you 25% at the airport if caught, wonder how much they'll charge you or even do to your stuff when they know the (real) declared value..
just an input

omg dont ever try this...i tried sending chanel earrings to indonesia and its actually lost in the mail...just gone no news nothin...and its unable to track it. hate hate this!
Chanel_luv,
DO NOT send a bag directly to Indonesia from a store who would declare full amount of the items. You'll be slapped with fees big time.
I had a branded bag sent over to me, valued at $100 and USED and i was told to pay about 40% of the declared value. The officials even showed me the rules as to how much is the import tax for bags and so on
I don't know if they do that just because it was a branded bag or maybe because the import tax are just 40% for any bags. But i would definitely not recommend you to send a bag from anywhere and declare full value.
Not trying to cheat here, but would you want to pay $4000 for a bag valued at $10K?
If it's $4K though.. might be different

Wow! 40%????? That's absolutely crazy!
Do you know if they open every package even if it is under value?
Thank you for the information. I really2 appreciate it

Most of the time i think they are depending on what you send. For clothes, i don't think it really matters cuz you won't be able to tell whether it's new or not unless they have tags.
But for bags, they can say it's new even though it's used. They tend to be more suspicious over bags

went to grand hyatt on tue,saw contance walet...a lot belt...and mawari mykonos GM...clic clac bagles too...
depends on your luck, 99% of the times you get to pay 40% tax
both by dhl and ems
even by DHL, a friend told me she must paid 50 usd for a zero value samples sent for her company
at the end of the day, i heard its cheaper to buy H from a reseller than getting them sent

40%?? that's ridiculous! But i heard these days the officials are more "trained" to know which ones are branded ones. Jakarta is worst, but Surabaya is getting there too. Even they tried to get money from a used marc jacobs bag!
thanks for the update ankia vinka! I hate grand hyatt and its inventory + service. such rude SAs.
I'm sorry to hear this loveaddict! What courier did you used? Hope it was insured!! and replaced!
I'm speechless when it comes to reseller's price.The mark up is just too much! but yeaa.. at least there's no risk of being lost in the mail!
