Leaving Indonesia with motorcycles

RESTRICTEDExporting a motorcycle from Indonesia follows the vehicle-export process — deregistration and export declaration, with destination import rules the harder constraint.

Permanently exporting a motorcycle from Indonesia requires deregistration with the vehicle registry, lien clearance, and an export declaration. Destination-side, age limits, emissions standards, and import duties mirror the car regime, and engine-capacity restrictions apply in some markets. Temporary export for touring uses a carnet de passages; shipping lines require drained fuel and disconnected batteries as dangerous-goods preparation.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Personal-import requires destination age + emission + safety compliance. Permit + IDP from home country. See /vehicles/indonesia.
