Textile entrepreneurs are not surprised by the existence of a 'port mafia' at the Tanjung Priok port which is currently being investigated by the High Court. Moreover, there is the falsification of export documents in question. Previously, the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office issued an investigation warrant No. 2973/M.1/Fd/12/2021 dated December 14, 2021, regarding the so-called 'port mafia'. It was explained that there were export-import activities of goods in the form of garments to Indonesia that violated the rules for the Ease of Import with the Purpose of Export (KITE) without import duties.

Where imported garments are sold domestically when they should be processed and then re-exported for state revenue.

"Indeed, that is the old method, from the Bonded and Regional Areas. He imported raw materials that should have been produced for export, instead they were sold domestically. That's the old method, we have talked to the Ministry of Finance and Customs and Excise," explained the Secretary General of the Filament Yarn and Fiber Association. APSyFI) Redma Gita Wirawasta, , (22/12/2021).

However, Redma continued, maybe the prosecutor's office has just found new evidence from the old case. Where there is falsification of fictitious export documents.

"So there are documents that have been changed to falsify documents such as exporting. Because he has an obligation but he doesn't export," he explained.

According to Redma, this can happen because there is no integrated system between customs (taxation) and banking. So this mode should have been detected a long time ago when there was an import transaction.

In addition, this can happen because the supervision at KITE or the Bonded Logistics Center (PLB) is based on 'paper based'. So there is no direct supervision of the form of goods, only based on transaction data.

"Because it is not integrated, it is easy to play. There can be a transfer of HS under invoice. For example, he imports 1,000 but claims to be 800. But because it is not integrated with customs, believe it," he explained

The people involved in this case are not only businessmen, but there are also officials involved in this case. In addition, the existing supervisory system is also not qualified.

So the so-called 'port mafia' exists because the system is organized not only from the entrepreneurs themselves, customs officials, to insurance.

"If the insurance company is correct, there can be no fictitious exports. If you make this packing list, you will definitely check with insurance. I'm sure he uses fake insurance, so there is cooperation with port people including insurance fraud," he explained.
