LNSW Boosts Monitoring to Prevent Underinvoicing in Trade

JAKARTA, December 5 2025 – The National Single Window (LNSW) agency announced measures to curb underinvoicing by monitoring export‑import document compliance in real time. LNSW officers use integrated data submitted by service users to detect discrepancies in declared goods values.

Underinvoicing (declaring a lower value than the actual price) reduces tax and customs revenue. LNSW gathers a superset of data—including customs declarations, quarantine permits and port documents—to assess compliance levels. Direct detection remains the responsibility of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, while LNSW provides the data infrastructure.

LNSW head Oza Olavia emphasized that the monitoring aims to raise exporter and importer compliance, not to collect revenue. The agency plans to apply artificial intelligence (AI) for data analysis, which should speed up the identification of violation patterns. Higher compliance is expected to improve the state’s tax, customs and non‑tax revenue collection.
