Are there customs rules for bringing in sound and lighting equipment?

Yes. Professional sound, lighting, DJ, or stage equipment must usually be declared at Indonesian customs. Depending on the type and value of the equipment, you may need a Temporary Import Permit (TIT/TIP) to avoid paying import taxes or to ensure the equipment can legally re-exit the country.
