So no changes or new rules about foreign movies. Because the addition of royalties to the customs value is in conformity with the provisions of the WTO (world trade organization).

BKD states currently determining the customs value of imported films based solely on price printed copy of the film, not including royalties and profit sharing rights," said Heri.
"There is no increase in tariffs. The film imports classified under HS code: 3706 with the imposition of tariffs of 10%, 10% import VAT, and Income Tax article 22 of imports 2.5%," said Heri.
In addition, Customs also has invited the Association of American film producer (MPA), among others, 21st Century, Walt Disney, Time Warner, and Sony Pics discuss issues such customs value of imported films.
Customs also studied the data from the net site www.boxofficemojo.com who said the circulation of the 52 titles for foreign movies in the period April 2009 to February 2010 made $ 69 million or equivalent to Rp 570 billion with the calculation of the exchange rate of Rp 9.500/US $.
"In the meeting ask MPA Customs and producers including, to convey in writing the things that so concerned about them to the Customs Excise and has not received Customs," said Heri.
