From Restrictions to Opportunities: New Amendment Expands Scope of Livestock and Animal Product Imports

In 2016, the Indonesian Government introduced Regulation No. 4 of 2016 on the Importation of Livestock and/or Animal Products Originating from Countries or Zones Within Countries of Origin under Certain Conditions, which was subsequently amended by Regulation No. 11 of 2022 (collectively referred to as “Regulation 4/2016”). However, in order to meet an ever-growing public need for supplies of livestock and animal products, the government has now issued the Second Amendment to Regulation 4/2016 through the issuance of Regulation No. 5 of 2025 (“Second Amendment”), which officially came into effect on 3 February 2025.[1]
