Importing Cars from China to Indonesia: RHD and Tax Realities
Indonesia requires right-hand-drive and applies high non-ASEAN vehicle tax — and Wuling's local popularity there comes from manufacturing, not imports. Here's the honest picture.
Indonesia drives on the left and requires right-hand-drive (RHD) vehicles for registration — DriveSino's catalog is left-hand-drive (LHD), sourced from mainland China's domestic market, the same consideration that applies to Malaysia.
A Common Misconception: Wuling
Wuling is genuinely everywhere in Indonesia — but that popularity comes from SGMW's local Indonesian manufacturing plant, not imports from China. It's a different model from what DriveSino offers, worth understanding before assuming an import path applies to that brand specifically.
What Does Have Real Import Interest
BYD and Chery both have genuine China-sourced import demand in Indonesia — ask DriveSino about RHD sourcing feasibility for your specific model.
Cost to Import
Vehicles ship from China to Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, or Makassar in 9–18 days, with freight from $1,402 USD. See our full Indonesia import guide for the complete picture, or contact DriveSino to discuss your specific situation.
