Is it legal to bring vapes into a country in Indonesia?
This rebuilt rule page keeps the answer, scope, and future source links in one obvious place, without pretending the row is fully researched before official sources are attached.

download pirated movies
Indonesia's Copyright Act gives creators exclusive economic rights over reproduction and distribution, and using those rights without permission is infringement. Downloading pirated movies is not recognised in the official sources reviewed as a general lawful entertainment exception.
gamble online
Official Indonesian government sources treat online gambling as illegal and subject to criminal enforcement. The government blocks gambling content and law enforcement pursues online gambling cases under criminal provisions.
bring electronics without declaring them
Indonesia allows personal passenger goods within the personal-use rules and the passenger exemption, but goods above the allowance or non-personal-use items must be declared and taxed. Customs says the customs declaration is the core passenger import document and should be completed honestly.
bring food into a country
Indonesia allows some food for personal use, but animal and plant products require health certification and official BPOM sources cap processed food for personal consumption brought by a passenger. Non-compliant food can be stopped at the border.
Compare this activity in other countries
This makes the rule page useful for comparison without creating a second data source.
Argentina
ANMAT says electronic cigarettes are prohibited for importation, distribution and commercialization in Argentina. Bringing vapes into Argentina should therefore not be treated as permitted ordinary import.
Australia
Australia allows only a narrow travellers exemption for small quantities of therapeutic vapes and otherwise treats vaping goods as prohibited imports without prior permission.
Austria
Austria does not treat every traveller vape import the same way. Customs rules, value allowances and youth tobacco rules can all matter depending on the product and traveller.
Bahrain
Bahrain Customs includes electronic cigarettes and related nicotine products in its duty-free passenger allowance framework. Bringing vapes or e-liquid beyond that framework should not be treated as unrestricted entry.

Why the page is intentionally light
The new site should show a stable layout, a stable route, and clear source slots before the dataset is scaled up again. That keeps management simple and makes later official-source population safer.
