The 43 containers are estimated to hold 4,687 bales worth Rp37,5 miliar, while a warehouse in Kalbar is also being investigated.
Direktorat Jenderal Bea dan Cukai seized 43 containers suspected of containing illegally imported used clothing at Tanjung Priok Port in North Jakarta. As of 22 June 2026, inspections of 19 containers found 2,067 bales of used clothing, accessories and bags; the total cargo in the 43 containers is estimated at 4,687 bales with a value of about Rp37,5 miliar. The enforcement action began with suspicions of a shipment on KM Eden Mas along the Pontianak-Tanjung Priok route. Of the 268 containers carried by the ship, 46 loaded containers were scanned and 43 were then sealed. Follow-up work in Kalimantan Barat on 19-21 June also led to the seizure of 2,060 bales in warehouses in Kubu Raya and Mempawah worth Rp16,48 miliar. The Kementerian Keuangan said the investigation is continuing to trace the warehouse owner and parties linked to the container ownership.
