Plan around local peaks in Medan
Weather and season: Haze from fires (August to October) can reduce visibility. We build buffer time into routings and switch to alternative airports when needed.
Holidays: In Indonesia, Lebaran (Idul Fitri) with extended collective leave and congestion before and after can slow down customs, airlines and trucking. Book early and send documents in advance around these dates.
Customs clearance in Medan
Every import and export from Medan needs a customs declaration. In Indonesia, customs clearance is handled by a dedicated partner team that works under the Ziem Logistics brand, to our procedures and with the shipment data we prepare. You deal only with Ziem Logistics, from booking to release.
