This new framework represents a comprehensive overhaul of Indonesia?s witness and victim protection framework. The new Law introduces a Victim Endowment Fund, strict restitution mechanisms with corporate asset seizure provisions, and critical workplace anti-retaliation protections for whistleblowers and informants. Specifically, companies are prohibited from discriminating against or sanctioning employees who serve as protected witnesses or reporters.

This Regulation imposes Anti-Dumping Import Duty (Bea Masuk Anti-Dumping ? ?BMAD?) on certain specific multilayer duplex paperboard products from the Republic of Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan, in addition to existing Most Favoured Nation (MFN) or preferential import duties. This Regulation also establishes manufacturer-specific BMAD rates and a formula-based calculation method. Furthermore, importers must submit Certificates of Analysis (CoA) that feature product brightness information, with non-compliance potentially triggering customs examinations and affecting the applicable BMAD rate.

This Regulation designates ferro-alloys as a strategic natural resource commodity and centralizes exports through designated State-Owned Enterprises (Badan Usaha Milik Negara ? ?BUMN?). This Regulation also distinguishes between commodities subject to Surveyors? Report (Laporan Surveyor ? ?LS?) requirements that apply across customs areas, Free-Trade Zones and Free Ports, Special Economic Zones and Bonded Storage Areas and those that are not. The framework also provides exemptions for certain businesses and allows eligible non-BUMN exporters to continue exporting through Export BUMN until 31 December 2026.

If it is ultimately enforced, then this new Draft Regulation will update the various import supervision requirements that apply to food and drug products by revising territorial coverage, reducing the shelf-life threshold for biological products from nine to seven months and tightening application procedures for Import Certificates (Surat Keterangan Impor/SKI). This Draft Regulation also introduces a number of additional documentation requirements that will specifically apply to imports of drug and cosmetic products, while also expanding the available administrative sanctions to electronic access restrictions that will apply to all products that are registered by non-compliant applicants.

The Draft Amendment introduces significant reforms that will now apply to conventional and sharia venture capital companies, including broadened financing scopes, expedited approval timelines for secondary activities, comprehensive asset restructuring mechanisms and stricter administrative sanctions that include substantial monetary fines for non-compliance.

This Regulation establishes a comprehensive framework for achieving Indonesia?s Sustainable Development Goals (Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan - ?TPB?) through the National Action Plan (Rencana Aksi Nasional/RAN) and Regional Action Plan (Rencana Aksi Daerah/RAD). The framework adopts a multi-stakeholder approach by involving business actors and other non-state stakeholders in TPB implementation. This Regulation is also supported by four development pillars and structured coordination mechanisms to align national and regional planning, implementation, and reporting processes.

The Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Produk Halal - ?BPJPH?) has introduced a stringent administrative sanctions framework for violations within the halal ecosystem. This new regulation enforces strict penalties, including product recalls, fines, and certificate revocations, for non-compliant business actors, halal inspection agencies, and auditors. Companies must immediately ensure absolute compliance with halal separation and reporting mandates to avoid operational suspensions or mandatory market withdrawals.

This new framework affirms that regional governments and industrial estate administrators should conduct comprehensive air quality inventories and draft localized management plans. The new Regulation fundamentally alters the environmental compliance landscape through the introduction of strict emergency response thresholds for specific air pollutants. Under these new rules, authorities are fully empowered to trigger immediate operational and production suspensions in relation to corporate entities.

This Regulation establishes a comprehensive framework aimed at accelerating the achievement of Indonesia?s Sustainable Development Goals (Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan - ?TPB?) through coordinated planning, implementation and monitoring mechanisms. The Regulation positions TPB targets as a reference for use by government institutions, business actors and other stakeholders, while expanding private-sector participation in TPB governance. The framework also enables TPB initiatives to be supported through both public funding and Innovative Funding mechanisms that emphasize measurable development impacts.

The Second Amendment introduces import flexibility by allowing Surveyors? Reports (Laporan Surveyor/LS) to be issued even after import business licenses have already expired, provided that certain specific shipping and verification conditions are met. The new framework also strengthens post-import compliance by allowing authorities to suspend an importer?s active license for the same commodity if the importer fails to submit realization reports that relate to previously expired licenses.
