Did you read something of Kafka in the school? Do you remember "
Macondo", the
mythical city of 100 Years of
solitude,
surrealistic place in the mind of
Garcia Marquez? Well, add Kafka and
Macondo and you will have a picture of what is Customs +
Sarinah + Agents in Indonesia. We have 2 containers full of wine in
Tanjung Prior since middle of
June ready to be ship to our customers. But.... until now we don't
receive the
PIB, the paper that says how much of taxes we need to pay. They say that after
July 8, maybe, they give us the number. After we pay,
Sarinah (the monopoly of alcohol in Indonesia), must open each case, take out each bottle and put the famous
stickers. After that, they send the wines. The
process of
clearance of a
container of wines in
Indonesia takes
minimum 2 months. Now you can start to understand why
Indonesia is dry of wines and
start to wonder if they make this on purpose. You know, it's a
Muslim country and alcohol is not in the
Coran...
