In response to the recent fiasco in the stevedoring activities, Minister of Trade Rachmat Gobel recently issued a new regulation on import provisions. Stipulated under Minister of Trade Regulation No. 54/M-DAG/Per/7/2015 on General Provisions for Import, it repeals and replaces the old Minister of Trade Regulation No. 54/M/DAG/PER/10/2009 on the same matter.The new import regulation serves as an answer towards President Joko Widodo’s disappointment of Indonesia’s dwelling time. As of now, the nation’s dwelling time could reach 6 to 7 days, while neighboring countries such as Singapore spends only 1 day of processing time. Dwelling time is the amount of time needed to unload containers from a ship until it leaves the port.
President Joko Widodo urges for an improvement of port service quality by accelerating the dwelling time. The President has also threatened to discharge ministers and head of institutions that are responsible on this dwelling time issue.
Minister Gobel claims that the new import regulation will reduce dwelling time, by creating an administrative order for import activities as well as encouraging first-rate importers. Minister Gobel explained that first-rate importers would have prepared all the necessary licenses before joining the import business such as Importer Identification Number (API) and other necessary documents.
The Ministry of Trade will not hesitate to impose administrative sanctions or fines on importers operating illegally. Additional sanctions may also be imposed, such as returning the illegal imported goods. This provision was not regulated under the previous regulation which allow imported goods to enter Indonesian custom area before the importer applies for the necessary licenses.
In relation to the matter, the Federation of State-Owned Enterprise Employees Union (Federasi Serikat Pekerja BUMN Bersatu/FSP) urged the President to discharge the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Rini M. Soemarno. According to the FSP, Minister Rini does not only add more negative aspects, but is also incompetent in handling the problems at Tanjung Priok Port.
“The negative performance of Minister Rini is evident with the decline of National Export Value for primary exports and the deindustrialization. There is also the reduction of goods and services flow at the port, as well as the uncontrollable advances of cheap imported products far below the base cost into domestic market,” said Arief Puyuono, Chairman of National Presidium of FSP.
