Steel Rebar Export to Indonesia
German B500B reinforcing steel to EN 10080 — technically comparable to SNI 2052 BjTS 420/500 — shipped to Tanjung Priok (Jakarta) with full Mill Test Certificate, Certificate of Origin and seaworthy export documentation.
Rebar Indonesia: German B500B for Southeast Asia’s Largest Economy
Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia and one of the world’s most active construction markets. A population of over 270 million, rapid urbanisation concentrated in Java and expanding into outer islands, and ambitious government infrastructure programmes (including the Nusantara capital city project and National Strategic Projects / PSN) sustain consistent demand for high-grade reinforcing steel. Large-scale projects routinely specify international-quality rebar supported by EN 10204 3.1 mill certification — documentation that our German B500B supply chain delivers as standard.
The national reinforcing steel standard in Indonesia is SNI 2052 (Baja Tulangan Beton / concrete reinforcing steel), maintained by BSN (Badan Standardisasi Nasional). Our German B500B, produced and certified to EN 10080, delivers a minimum yield strength of 500 MPa with high ductility (Class B) — technically comparable to SNI 2052 grade BjTS 420 and BjTS 500. Indonesian structural engineers and international EPC contractors operating in Indonesia are familiar with EN 10080 mill certificates; we provide a full documentation package to support project compliance review.
SNI 2052 and EN 10080 Technical Comparability
SNI 2052 classifies deformed reinforcing bars by minimum yield strength designation: BjTS 280, BjTS 350, BjTS 420, and BjTS 500 (where the number denotes the minimum yield in MPa). Our B500B to EN 10080 achieves a minimum yield of 500 MPa — directly comparable to BjTS 500, and significantly above BjTS 420 (420 MPa minimum). Ductility class B under EN 10080 (Agt ≥ 5.0%, k ≥ 1.08) provides substantial elongation reserves suited to Indonesia’s seismic environment. We do not claim formal SNI 2052 certification or BSN/KAN product listing for our rebar — buyers should confirm local code compliance with their structural engineer (Insinyur Struktur) and the relevant project authority before ordering.
Grade Comparison: SNI 2052 and EN 10080
| Standard | Grade | Min Yield (MPa) | Ductility |
|---|---|---|---|
| EN 10080 (Germany) | B500B | 500 | Class B (Agt ≥ 5.0%, k ≥ 1.08) |
| SNI 2052 (Indonesia) | BjTS 500 | 500 | High-strength structural |
| SNI 2052 (Indonesia) | BjTS 420 | 420 | Standard structural |
This comparison is for technical reference only. Formal equivalency under SNI and Indonesian building codes must be confirmed by a licensed structural engineer. We do not hold BSN/KAN certification for this product.
Shipping Rebar to Indonesia: Tanjung Priok and Beyond
Tanjung Priok (Port of Jakarta) is Indonesia’s busiest container port and the primary gateway for steel imports. Other major ports serve the archipelago’s outer islands.
Tanjung Priok (Jakarta)
Tanjung Priok handles the majority of Indonesia’s containerised steel imports. A 40 ft high-cube container carries approximately 22–25 t of bundled rebar up to 12 m. Sailings from Hamburg or Bremerhaven to Tanjung Priok typically route via Singapore or Port Klang as a transshipment hub. Ocean transit times vary by carrier and routing.
Other Indonesian Ports
Tanjung Perak (Surabaya) serves East Java; Belawan (Medan) serves North Sumatra; Makassar Port serves Sulawesi. For projects outside Java, your freight forwarder can arrange transshipment from Tanjung Priok or direct calling where vessel schedules permit. Break-bulk is suitable for large-tonnage or oversized (18 m) bar orders.
Indonesian Customs (Bea Cukai)
Bea Cukai (Directorate General of Customs and Excise) administers import duties and VAT on reinforcing steel. HS classification, applicable duties and import licence (API-U / API-P) requirements should be verified with a licensed Indonesian customs agent (PPJK). We supply a complete documentation set to facilitate customs clearance and any Surveyor Indonesia / pre-shipment inspection requirements.
Export Documentation for Indonesia
A complete documentation package is available for every shipment to Indonesia:
- EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificate (MTC) — heat-specific chemical and mechanical test data, signed by the mill’s authorised inspector. The standard required by international project engineers and lenders as primary product certification for structural steel.
- Certificate of Origin — confirms German manufacture. Required by Bea Cukai and often stipulated in letter of credit terms. May support preferential duty treatment where applicable trade agreements apply.
- Commercial Invoice & Packing List — itemised by diameter, length, weight per bundle, total gross and net weight, and heat reference number.
- Bill of Lading — issued by the carrier upon loading at the port of origin (Hamburg or Bremerhaven).
- HS Code — deformed reinforcing bars: HS 7214.20 (BTKI 2022). Coil: HS 7213.10. Final Indonesian tariff classification should be confirmed with your PPJK.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) — where required by the buyer’s L/C or the project authority (e.g. PT Sucofindo or internationally recognised bodies such as SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek), we can accommodate inspection at the port of loading.
Products for Indonesian Construction Projects
We supply a full range of EN 10080 / DIN 488 reinforcing steel products suited to Indonesia’s large-scale infrastructure, high-rise and industrial sectors.
B500B Deformed Bars
Diameters 8–40 mm, standard lengths 6 m and 12 m. Hot-rolled, ribbed surface to EN 10080. Full MTC included as standard. The primary product for RC frame high-rises, toll roads and bridge piers in Indonesia.
B500B Details →Mechanical Couplers
Parallel-thread couplers for dia 12–40 mm — eliminates lap congestion in column-heavy Indonesian high-rise and infrastructure construction, reducing rebar consumption and section congestion.
Couplers →Reinforcing Mesh
