available from privately run (but government approved) Tourist
Information Services. Be aware that many offices calling themselves
"Tourist Information" are simply travel agents.

Airport in Tuban (Phone 751001, ext. 1313) is open 24 hours.

Surapati, Denpasar, Phone 223602, open 8am-2:30 pm Mon-Thurs,

Customs
Narcotics, firearms and ammunition are strictly prohibited.
The standard duty-free allowance is: 2 liters of alcoholic beverages,
200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 100 grams of tobacco.
There is no restriction on import and export of foreign currencies
in cash or travelers checks, but there is an export limit of
50,000 Indonesian rupiah.
All narcotics are illegal in Indonesia. The use, sale or purchase
of narcotics results in long prison terms, huge fines and death,
in some cases. Once caught, you are immediately placed in detention
until trial, and the sentences are stiff, as demonstrated by
Westerners currently serving sentences as long as 30 years for
possession of marijuana.
