Govt Tightens Rules on Tire Imports

 
Nadia Maharani, M. Agus Yozami
 
In a bid to boost domestic supply and demand within the tire industry, Indonesia’s Minister of Trade, Rachmat Gobel, recently issued Regulation No. 45/M-DAG/PER/6/2015 on the Provision of Tire Imports. This new Regulation tightly controls tire imports into Indonesia and comes into force on 7 October 2015 .
 
“The tightening of tire imports aims to boost the national tire industry, as well as create healthy business competition. Thus supply and demand for domestic needs should be adequately met,” explained Minister Gobel.
 
In addition to previous legal requirements, which include verification and technical import investigations, additional requirements have now been incorporated so as to further tighten tire imports still further. Businesses, for example, must now secure import approval and register as official importers.
 
Businesses must also now be in possession of additional supporting documents, such as Indonesian Language Labeling Certification (SKPLBI), a Certificate of Product Uses for Standard Marking Tires (SPPT SNI), Tire Type Registration, Tire Registration Numbers (NPB), as well as a letter of recommendation from the Ministry of Industry.
 
Partogi Pangaribuan, Indonesia’s Director General of Foreign Trade, has also stated that not only are tires now required to be imported via certain selected seaports, including Belawan in Medan, Tanjung Priok in Jakarta, Tanjung Perak in Surabaya, Semayang in Balikpapan, Soekarno Hatta in Makassar, and Sorong in Papua, but that they may also be imported through the country’s international airports.
 
Meanwhile, in a bid to expand business and investment, businesses may import tires for market trial purposes for six months at a time, a period which can then be extended for another six months after the obtaining of registered-importer certification.
 
“My hope is that this regulation will be able to boost the downstream program and encourage the growth of local products, specifically within the domestic tire industry,” asserted the Director General.
