The Magelang Customs Office has officially designated PT Shoenary Javanesia Inc (SJI), a footwear manufacturing company located in Temanggung Regency, as an "Independent Bonded Zone" (Kawasan Berikat Mandiri).

This significant designation, granted on Thursday, June 25, 2026, reflects the government's confidence in SJI's adherence to regulations and its robust, technology-driven oversight system. The "Independent Bonded Zone" status is a customs facility awarded to companies demonstrating high compliance and adequate internal control systems.

Nugroho Wigijarto, Head of the Magelang Customs Office, stated that this initiative is part of the government's broader effort to foster a more conducive investment climate and enhance the competitiveness of export-oriented industries. He expressed expectations that this facility will enable SJI to increase productivity, expand its export markets, and strengthen its contribution to national economic growth.

With this new status, PT SJI will benefit from simplified customs procedures and optimized use of electronic systems, streamlining administrative processes and improving operational efficiency. This is particularly crucial for managing raw material imports and expediting the export of finished goods. The company's operations will be monitored through advanced IT solutions, including IT Inventory and CCTV surveillance, ensuring effective oversight while accelerating service delivery.

The designation of PT SJI underscores a synergistic relationship between the government and the business sector in creating a competitive industrial ecosystem. By providing targeted facilities, Customs continues to support domestic industry development, attract investment, and bolster the manufacturing sector's role in Indonesia's economy.

Through the Independent Bonded Zone facility, companies are expected to increase productivity, expand export markets, and strengthen their contribution to national economic growth.
