The Regulation overhauls the import and export procedures within the Batam Free Trade Zone, introducing stringently quantified quotas for consumption and excisable goods, drastically reducing the import approval validity for alcohol and tobacco to 14 days, and implementing a strict risk-based compliance weighting system that can lead to immediate operational suspension for underperforming entities.

The Ministry of Finance has amended the goods classification and import duty system to provide targeted fiscal incentives. The new framework introduces specialized Chapter 98 tariff lines, significantly reducing import duties to 0% for specific goods and materials imported by aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul companies, as well as for liquefied petroleum gas utilized as raw materials in the petrochemical industry.

While maintaining the seven technical requirements for Bappebti approvals, this new Regulation has now expanded and clarified the technical requirements that apply to warehouses that are registered with the warehouse receipt system through the addition of clearer standards on warehouse location, construction and climate control, including disaster resilience and load-bearing capacity. The Regulation also requires a broader set of equipment for safe storage and handling. Indonesia?s SNI remains the benchmark for LPK assessments, while in situations where no applicable SNI exist, Bappebti may set the relevant technical requirements through the issuance of separate Regulations.

The Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (Badan Pengawas Perdagangan Berjangka Komoditi ? ?Bappebti?) has now revoked the various standalone technical requirements that previously applied to Controlled Atmosphere Storage (CAS) facilities and introduced a unified framework that will now require warehouses operating under the Warehouse Receipt System to comply with the applicable Indonesian National Standards (Standar Nasional Indonesia ? ?SNI?). Under the new framework, Bappebti has also expanded the scope of regulated commodities to encompass 30 designated commodities.

The Second Amendment significantly decentralizes trade and forestry compliance within Batam KPBPB by granting the Head of the Batam Development Authority the direct power to exempt certain parties from specific import restrictions. Furthermore, this new framework also expands the mandatory basic requirements that apply to the business licensing regime so that they now include new forestry utilization and release approvals.

If this new Draft Bill is ultimately enforced, then it will strengthen Indonesia?s Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kamar Dagang dan Industri - ?Kadin?) by positioning it as a strategic government partner with a unique sui generis, non-structural status, as well as broader responsibilities relating to policymaking, governance and business support functions. The Draft Bill also introduces tiered membership, a binding Code of Ethics, an independent Business Dispute Resolution Agency and the new Kadin Information System.

The Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan ? ?OJK?) has restructured the reporting framework for organizers of digital financial asset trading through the elimination of daily reporting and business plan realization obligations. This has resulted in the centralization of regulatory submissions through the OJK Reporting System, as well as the introduction of more detailed disclosures for higher-risk activities such as derivatives, margin and staking. The new framework will become effective on 1 September 2026, while certain provisions will be subject to phased implementation, including the elimination of business plan realization reporting obligations on 1 January 2027.

The Amendment specifically mandates that cooking oil producers must supply packaged cooking oil for household consumption in order to prevent market shortages. Any producers who fail to fulfill this obligation will face strict administrative sanctions, including sequential written warnings and punitive government coercion until compliance is achieved, which may include warehouse closures and temporary operational shutdowns.

This Regulation introduces a Special Scheme that offers import-duty tariff reductions for eligible aircraft repair and maintenance Companies under KBLI Code 33153, subject to the securing of the requisite approvals through SIINas, including SKVI. The new Regulation also establishes various provisions on utilization, inventory management, subcontracting and transfer restrictions, while also requiring quarterly reporting through SIINas. Non-compliance may result in the imposition of administrative sanctions, including written reprimands and temporary suspension from the Special Scheme.

The Third Amendment mandates that all exporters operating within the natural resources sector must exclusively place, hold and manage their export proceeds through State-Owned Enterprise Banks, effectively stripping private banks and Indonesia Eximbank of their prior custodial authority. Furthermore, non-mining exporters now face a strict 50% regulatory cap on the conversion of their foreign exchange proceeds into rupiah, thereby fundamentally altering corporate treasury and hedging flexibilities.
