Decision
HOLDImport licence route. The available evidence is not sufficient to proceed on the proposed terms. The arrangement remains unresolved in this illustration: confirm a lawful import route and review the appointment terms before signing.
Next action: Verify the import route: obtain the distributor's written licence position, then put it to an Indonesian specialist.
Partial illustrative evidence. Specialist review is incomplete.

Options
Proceed through an API-U co-importer. A licensed general importer brings the goods in and invoices the distributor. Start with a short, non-exclusive agreement.
Ask the distributor for the licence position in writing. One question, one answer, ten working days. If the answer is satisfactory, the appointment can be reconsidered with the answer on file.
Stop, and keep the file. Do not enter Indonesia now. The report stays valid for a later decision when the route is clear.
What would change this recommendation
The distributor confirms a licensed route to import for resale, in writing. The licence finding would move from unresolved to workable, subject to the specialist view.
A named API-U co-importer is brought into the arrangement. The appointment could proceed on a different import route, with the terms reviewed on that basis.
An Indonesian specialist confirms the current route fits this transaction. The question would close, and the remaining risk moves to the commercial terms.
The distributor provides resale prices and margin. The financial case becomes testable, not only the cost side of it.
Illustrative case, not a client engagement. Company details are illustrative. Rule sources are real and dated. Indonesian specialist review is incomplete. It is not advice for your product.
