Customs Office Supports Legal Tobacco Industry with Business Permit

The Probolinggo Customs Office has issued a business identification number (NPPBKC) to PR Jagad Globalinggo, a manufacturer of hand-rolled kretek cigarettes. This action is part of an effort to support the legal growth of the tobacco industry and provide legal certainty for businesses operating within the sector.

PR Jagad Globalinggo, located in Muneng Village, Sumberasih District, Probolinggo Regency, received the NPPBKC on June 29, 2026, after fulfilling all administrative and technical requirements. The Head of the Probolinggo Customs Office, Rudie Bayu Widjatnoko, symbolically handed over the permit on July 7, 2026, emphasizing its importance for legal operations.

Beyond providing legal certainty, the increase in legally operating tobacco businesses is anticipated to bring economic benefits to the community. These benefits include the creation of employment opportunities, stimulation of local economic activity, and the fostering of a healthy and competitive business ecosystem.

Bea Cukai Probolinggo stated its commitment extends beyond mere permit issuance. The office also provides guidance and assistance to businesses to ensure ongoing compliance with customs regulations. This approach aims to create a conducive business climate while simultaneously enhancing compliance rates among businesses.
