The Indonesian Ministry of Trade (MOT) issued regulation 71/2015, updating Indonesia’s import rules on horticultural products. The new import rules outlined in MOT 71/2015 supersede MOT 16/2013, 47/2013, and 40/2015, but makes few substantial changes. Import licenses are still required and quantities will be allocated subject to the importer’s cold storage capacity. MOT eliminated the 80 percent rule, which imposed punitive measures on importers that used less than 80 percent of the quota allotted under their import permits. The new regulation also specifies that the total import allocation will be set annually and that importers are no longer required to register as horticultural product importers.
