Indonesia: Update to Guidance on Prior Notice Requirements for All US Commodity Shipments to Indonesia
This report serves as an update to FAS Jakarta’s October 4, 2024 report on the Indonesian Quarantine Authority’s (IQA) expanded “prior notice” requirements (please see GAIN Report ID2024-0028). Through an official letter dated October 4, 2024, IQA confirmed there is a “soft implementation phase” of the prior notice requirement until February 5, 2025. Once full implementation begins on February 6, 2025, FAS Jakarta understands that U.S. exporters must send a copy of the prior notice submissions to their importers. Please note that this and related clarifications are based on information gathered informally and may be subject to change.
