Abstract
Indonesia has ratified the international convention on General Agreement of Tariff and Trade (GATT) in the Customs Law. The ratification includes the transplantation of applying strict compliance rule which requires every importer to declare each imported goods entered into the customs territory. This application is aimed at achieving the justice aspect in customs. This means that everybody engaging in customs activities is treated equally in similar terms and conditions. So, it can create a good social system. However, the regulation of strict compliance rule in Indonesia Customs Law is not clear and not concise that makes it subject to hiding the origin of the goods through wrong and falsified Customs and Excise Declaration. This is certainly dangerous and detrimental to the country economy both the country of the goods origin and the country of importer. Uncertainty and vagueness of the Customs Law relating to the application of strict compliance rule can also be seen from the absence of measurement to determine falsified condition of customs and excise declaration
