Currently, KPPI is closely monitoring seven import commodities, including textiles, ceramics, electronics, and cosmetics. Should these imports continue to escalate and jeopardize domestic industries, they could face protective tariffs. Similarly, the Indonesian Anti-Dumping Committee (KADI) is evaluating scenarios for implementing anti-dumping duties.

“Should import volumes escalate to the detriment of local businesses, after careful evaluation, anti-dumping tariffs may also be imposed,” stated Minister Zulkifli.

These measures are part of Indonesia’s broader strategy to bolster local industries against unfair competition and ensure sustainable economic growth. (Uki Ruknuddin)
