- In a bid to prevent the illegal importation of mobile phones into Indonesia, as well as to protect the domestic electronics industry, the Indonesian Government is in the process of rolling out three ministerial regulations which specifically address the illegal importation of cellphones and which will come into force six months after their date of issuance, specifically: 1) Regulation of the Minister of Industry on the Data Base System for the Identification of Mobile Telecommunications Devices; 2) Regulation of the Minister of Communications and Informatics on the Control of Telecommunications Equipment and/or Devices Which Are Connected to Cellular Mobile Networks through the Identification of International Mobile Equipment Identities (IMEI); and 3) Regulation of the Minister of Trade on the Amendment to Regulation of the Minister of Trade No. 38 of 2019 on Provisions on Instruction Manuals and After-Sales Services Warranties for Electronic and Telematic Products.
- It has been estimated that through the enforcement of IMEI-related regulations, domestic gadget producers will be able to increase the overall national production rate in order to serve the country’s approximately 60 million strong mobile-phone market, ultimately decreasing Indonesia’s dependence upon imported products.
- In addition, the Minister of Communications and Informatics has emphasized that consumers will remain unaffected for the moment. However, in six months’ time, consumers should be well prepared for the upcoming legal changes that will be introduced. (kominfo.go.id)
