Indonesia: MOT Revises Requirements on Horticultural Import Permits

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Ministry of Trade (MOT) recently issued revised requirements to obtain import permits (IP) for horticultural products. While the revisions eased some of the previous burdensome conditions, such as owning warehouse space and limiting downstream sales options, MOT can still potentially use other conditions to restrict imports. These conditions on IP approvals, combined with the Ministry of Agriculture’s requirements to obtain import recommendations, mean that Indonesia’s overall horticultural import licensing regime can still be used to control the quantity and timing of horticultural product imports.
