Breaking news: On July 19, Indonesian Minister Hasan officially announced the establishment of a special task force to crack down on illegal imported goods, effective from July 18 until December 31, 2024. It appears the crackdown will last for about six months, causing many entrepreneurs involved in Indonesian trade and e-commerce to break out in a cold sweat.
Members of the special task force come from 11 ministries and agencies of the Indonesian government, namely: the Ministry of Trade; the Attorney General's Office; the Indonesian National Police; the Ministry of Finance; the Ministry of Industry; the Ministry of Law and Human Rights; the National Intelligence Agency; the National Agency for Drug and Food Control; the Indonesian Navy Maritime Security Agency; provincial, district, and city trade authorities; and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The Indonesian Minister of Trade stated that establishing the special task force is imperative. For example, Indonesia's textile industry has been severely impacted by a large influx of illegal imported products, leading to the closure of many textile factories and mass layoffs. Some products lack SNI (Indonesian National Standard) certification or BPOM certification, which also harms the rights of Indonesian consumers. The special task force will focus on supervising seven categories of goods: textiles and textile products, clothing and apparel accessories, ceramics, electronic products, footwear, cosmetics, and other textile finished products. The focus of supervision will be on the warehouses of importers and distributors.
Minister of Trade Zulkifli Hasan stated that task force members will inspect the business licenses of relevant practitioners, verify the certification permits of the goods they trade, clarify suspected violations by practitioners, and then take legal action in accordance with the law. The task force will combine regular routine supervision with special supervision based on public complaints at any time, and is expected to officially commence work as early as July 23.
The Indonesian special task force for cracking down on illegal imported products has been rapidly established, and the crackdown will last for nearly half a year. This will have a significant impact on those engaged in trade and e-commerce in Indonesia. Relying on the local supply chain and operating legally and compliantly has become imperative.
