Indonesia Verification of Conformity (VoC) Service
International trade with Indonesia requires more than just good business — it demands strict adherence to regulations under the country’s Verification of Conformity (VoC) program.
Through this Pre-Shipment Technical Verification, importers and exporters must ensure that goods entering Indonesia comply with national safety and quality requirements.
The VoC system is supervised by the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia and performed by authorized inspection entities such as KSO Sucofindo–Surveyor Indonesia, in cooperation with recognized technical partners.
By securing a valid Laporan Surveyor (LS) certificate before shipment, your products enjoy smoother customs clearance and guaranteed compliance, protecting you against costly shipment delays or rejections.
🧾 What Is the Indonesia Verification of Conformity (VoC)?
The VoC is Indonesia’s official export verification scheme.
It ensures imported goods comply with regulatory, safety, and documentation standards before leaving the country of export.
Under this program, goods are checked for:
- ✅ Quality and quantity accuracy
- 📄 Valid documentation such as invoices, packing lists, and test certificates
- 📦 Packaging and labeling compliance
- 🧾 Import eligibility and customs conformity
- 🔒 Supervised loading and container sealing (for FCL shipments)
Once these steps are verified, the inspection body issues a Verification Order (VO) and later the Laporan Surveyor (LS) — an essential document for customs clearance in Indonesia.
