SKEP

KEP (Customs Declaration) is an important regulatory document that allows the temporary release of goods intended for subcontracting activities outside bonded zones. SKEP approval is required when PSL and PRO assign manufacturing tasks, such as coating, welding, or calibration, to PT Formulatrix Indonesia (FOI) as the internal subcontract vendor. Upon completion of the specialized tasks, the finished items are returned to their initial warehouse.

TIGA automates the creation of the following documents required for obtaining SKEP approval:

  • Sub Contract Properties

  • Guarantee Calculation Sheet (Lembar Perhitungan Jaminan)

  • Conversion and Flow Sheet (Lembar Konversi dan Flow)

  • Work Contract (Kontrak Kerja)
