Updated Provisions Introduced on the Trafficking of Animals/Products Vulnerable to PMK

In a bid to mitigate the spread of foot-and-mouth disease (penyakit mulut dan kuku – "PMK") within Indonesia, the Task Force for the Mitigation of Foot-and-Mouth Disease ("Task Force") has issued Circular No. 5 of 2022 ("Circular 5/2022"), which contains a set of updated restrictions that will now apply to the trafficking of animals and animal products vulnerable to PMK based on regional zoning status. The new restrictions are being further aimed at mitigating the effects of PMK.
In addition to the Red, Yellow and Green Zones that were previously addressed under Circular of the Task Force No. 4 of 2022 ("Circular 4/2022"), Circular 5/2022 has now added White Zones, which are defined as cities/regencies that are located on Red Zone islands and that did not detect any PMK cases during the previous month, as proven through routine and twice-weekly surveillance data. Subsequently, any city/regency that falls into the White Zone classification may be reclassified as a Green Zone area if the relevant city/regency does not detect any PMK cases for a period of two years, as proven through monthly surveillance data.
In terms of the trafficking of animal products, Circular 5/2022 has further redefined the various measures and requirements that must be met during the trafficking of both fresh produce and processed products. Moreover, the requirement for products to derive from PMK-free countries now applies to imports of animals vulnerable to PMK and fresh produce into cities/regencies within Indonesia.
Although the trafficking of fresh produce to cities/regencies in Bali is currently prohibited, this prohibition may exempt premium fresh meat products that derive from PMK-free countries, provided that said products are able to meet various other requirements, as comprehensively addressed under Circular 5/2022.
Circular 5/2022 has been in force since 2 September 2022.
