# DISCLAIMER: 

This report was prepared by the Office of Agricultural Affairs of the
USDA/Foreign Agricultural Service in Jakarta, Indonesia for U.S.
exporters of domestic food and agricultural products. While every
possible care has been taken in the preparation of this report,
information provided may not be completely accurate either because
policies have changed since its preparation, or because clear and
consistent information about these policies was not available. It is
highly recommended that U.S. exporters verify the full set of import
requirements with their foreign customers, who are normally best
equipped to research such matters with local authorities, before any
goods are shipped. FINAL IMPORT APPROVAL OF ANY PRODUCTS IS SUBJECT TO
THE IMPORTING COUNTRY'S RULES AND REGULATIONS AS INTERPRETED BY BORDER
OFFICIALS AT THE TIME OF PRODUCT ENTRY.

# 

# EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Many of Indonesia's regulations related to marketing food are either not
enforced at all, or are only enforced in a haphazard manner. While a
review of relevant regulations is important, the reality of what
actually occurs in practice may be quite different. Therefore, it is
essential that exporters confer with local importers/agents to determine
prevailing requirements on imports.

A comprehensive law concerning foodstuffs was signed into force in 1996,
but essential regulations required to implement the law entered into
force in 2000. Changes in recent years have seen a reduction of the
Government\'s controls on food imports and distribution, but imports are
still highly regulated. The most difficult problem for exporters
shipping high value products may be the requirement that all imported
products be registered. This can be a long and onerous process, but
experienced local agents can get it accomplished. Another significant
piece of legislation was the Consumer Protection Act of 1999, which
includes general provisions applicable to food retailing. Imports of
meat are always subject to shifting regulations and requirements. The
ban on U.S. beef imports remains in effect.

Food imports require product registration with the National Agency of
Drugs and Food Control (BPOM) and some products require additional
approvals. Food additives require approval, and special labeling
requirements apply. Food labels are to be in the Indonesian language and
must be easily understood by consumers. Mandatory information includes
the product name, weight or volume in metric units, use by date,
production code, BPOM registration number, and the name and address of
the manufacturer or importer. Stickers are acceptable. Certain foods,
meat, poultry, and dairy products are also required to have Halal
labeling. Nutritional labeling is not mandatory, but is subject to
regulation if applied. The law requires the industry to inform consumers
of nutritional requirements as well as list quantitative values of
nutritional constituents. Misleading information is forbidden and
breaches are subject to criminal proceedings.

Packaging is legislated to provide for safety from contamination but no
\"green\" regulations apply. There are no laws affecting waste disposal,
except as applicable to time expired food.

The "use by date" is to be determined by the manufacturer and must be
shown on the label or on the package. The date may not be changed from
the date placed by the original manufacturer. While the date may be of
the form \"best before \....\", it is actually interpreted as an expiry
date. After the use by date passes, unsold food must be destroyed, or
otherwise disposed of under the approval of the National Agency of Drugs
and Food Control (BPOM).

# SECTION I. FOOD LAWS

Republic of Indonesia Act No. 7 of 1996 concerning Food (*Undang-undang
Republik Indonesia Nomor 7 tahun 1996 tentang Pangan*) is the most
comprehensive legislation governing production, import and distribution
of foodstuffs. Although this was signed into force in November 1996,
many of its provisions have not been enacted. For example, the Act
included five clauses concerning labeling of packaged food, but an
adjacent clause states that four of those five clauses would be further
clarified by an additional Government Regulation. Until the required
regulations are in force, the affected provisions of the Act would not
be enforced.

Other significant legislation concerning food and agricultural imports
include:

-   Law Number 6 of 1967 concerning Essential Stipulations for Animal
    Husbandry and Health of Livestock.

-   Law Number 9 of 1985 concerning Fisheries.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Law Number 12 of 1992 concerning Cultivation of Plants.

-   Law Number 23 of 1992 concerning Health.

-   Law Number 25 of 1992 concerning Cooperatives.

-   Law Number 9 of 1995 concerning Small Business.

-   Law Number 10 of 1995 concerning Customs Tariff.

-   Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection.

In addition to the Acts listed above there are a number of Presidential
Instructions, Ministerial Regulations, Ministerial Decisions and
Departmental Determinations that regulate food production, import and
distribution. A list of matters covered by these authoritative documents
is included at Appendix A.

## Food Act (*UU No 7/1996*) 

The broad scope of the Food Act of 1996 can be seen in its preamble,
which includes the following statements:

-   Food is a basic need of mankind and fulfillment of that need is a
    basic right of all Indonesians.

-   Food that is safe, of good quality, nutritious, diverse, and
    provided in adequate quantity is the primary condition that must be
    achieved to provide a nutritional system protecting the health and
    improving the well being of society.

-   Food as a commercial commodity requires an honest and responsible
    trading system so that sustenance is available within the purchasing
    power of the society and the trade in food can play a role in
    national economic growth.

The definition of food in the Act further indicates its comprehensive
coverage:

> *\'Food is everything that originates from biological sources and from
> water, either processed or unprocessed, that is intended to be eaten
> or drunk by humans, including food additives, basic food materials and
> other materials used in the preparation, processing and/or manufacture
> of food and drink.\'*

The official amplification appended to the legislation states that the
Food Act covers the following aspects:

\- Technical criteria concerning food ‑ covering safety, quality and
nutrition as well as provisions for labeling and advertising foodstuff.

\- Responsibilities of those who produce, store, transport and/or
distribute food, together with legal sanctions to enforce the
determinations. (This aspect includes import and export of foodstuff.)

\- The role of government and society in achieving self‑sufficiency in
food and diversity in the foodstuffs consumed.

\- The role of government in fostering a domestic food industry aiming
to improve the characteristics of food for domestic consumption and for
export.

The Act contains the following chapters and sections:

1\. Food Safety covering:

Sanitation.

Food additives.

Genetic engineering and irradiation.

Food packaging.

Quality assurance and laboratory testing.

Contaminated food.

2\. Food Quality and Nutrition:

Food quality.

Nutrition.

3\. Labeling and Advertising Food:

4\. Imports and Export of Food:

5\. Legal Responsibility within the Food Industry.

6\. National Resilience in Food.

7\. Participation by Society.

8\. Monitoring and Enforcement.

9\. Criminal Provisions.

10\. Delegation of Supplementary Tasks and Responsibilities.

11\. Other provisions (Government may override the Act in an emergency).

12\. Effect on earlier acts (remain in force unless in contradiction
with the Act).

13\. Closing provision (the Act is valid from the date of enactment).

# SECTION II. LABELING REQUIREMENTS

## General Labeling

Requirements for labeling of food products are broad in scope and in a
phase of transformation. Changes resulting from the Food Act 1996,
Government Regulation on Food Labels and Advertisement 1999 and the
Consumer Protection Act 1999 came into effect in 2000. At the end of
2003, the head of the National Agency of Drugs and Food Control (BPOM)
published the guideline of food labeling. However, many of these
requirements are still not enforced.

All food packaged for sale must be labeled using:

-   The Indonesian language

-   Roman text

-   Arabic numerals

-   Writing that is firmly affixed and clear so as to be easily
    understood by the community.

Information on the package must include at the minimum:

-   The name of the product.

-   Net weight or net volume ‑ using metric units.

-   Name and address of the manufacturer or importer.

-   Registration number

-   Composition or a list of ingredients.

-   Date of expiry.

-   Production date or production code

In 2005, the head of BPOM also published the guidelines for nutrition
value information on food labels.

Product specific requirements for labeling:

-   On products derived from swine: the words \"*MENGANDUNG BABI*.\"
    (Contains pork) to be written in red \'universe medium corps 12\'
    font and enclosed in a red rectangle together with a drawing of a
    pig.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   On sweetened condensed milk: the words \"*PERHATIKAN! TIDAK COCOK
    UNTUK BAYI*.\" (Beware! Not suitable for babies) to be written in
    Indonesian in red \'universe medium corps 8\' font and enclosed in a
    red rectangle.

-   Irradiated packaged food must carry a certain green logo and the
    word \"RADURA:PANGAN IRADIASI\" (Irradiated food), together with
    phrases that indicate the reason for irradiation. If the food is not
    allowed to be re-irradiated, then the label should include the word:
    "Tidak boleh diradiasi ulang" (Not to be re-irradiated). Also
    required are the name and address of the radiation facility, the
    month and year of irradiation, and the country in which the process
    was carried out.

-   MINUMAN BERALKOHOL (Alcoholic beverage), DIBAWAH UMUR 21 TAHUN ATAU
    WANITA HAMIL DILARANG MINUM (Prohibited for use by people under 21
    years or pregnant women) is to be written on all alcoholic
    beverages.

-   Food derived from genetic engineering must use the word" PANGAN
    REKAYASA GENETIKA" (Genetically Engineered food).

-   Processed food for infants, children below five, pregnant or breast
    feeding mothers, people on special diets, elders, and sufferers of
    certain diseases should be informed of the allocation, method of use
    and other necessary instructions, including the impact of the food
    on human health.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   If the product has been approved as meeting Indonesian Islamic
    standards, then "Halal" should appear on the package.

Product specific regulated or prohibited claims or implications include:

-   On baby food it is not permissible to state or imply that the food
    can replace mother\'s milk.

-   A label is not permitted to imply that the contents have an
    advantage over products that do not carry a nutritional claim on
    their label.

-   A special claim is not permitted if the nutritional value derives
    from associated food items. For example a breakfast cereal package
    may not include the nutritional contribution of the milk and sugar
    normally added.

-   A claim for benefits to health must be supported on the basis of the
    product composition and normal daily consumption.

U.S. labels would be unacceptable unless they meet all the requirements
of the Indonesian law, but stick on labels meeting Indonesian
requirements may be affixed. Foreign languages in addition to the
mandatory Indonesian labeling may be used. In general, although they can
be widely found on retail products, foreign expressions are discouraged
since they are seen as potentially misleading to a majority of the
population. Moreover, Indonesia has an indigenous list of recommended
daily average (RDA) nutritional intakes, and therefore U.S. comparisons
to RDA would be invalid. In reality, there is an abundance of retail
products with two or more languages on the labels.

Labeling regulations are primarily applicable to packaged food for
retail sale. Food delivered in bulk for repackaging or industrial use is
subject only to requirements associated with irradiated foodstuff or
food additives.

Enforcement of regulations is the responsibility of BPOM. The amount of
packaged food in the market place that does not comply with the rules
indicates that the Agency does not have sufficient resources to enforce
the law. Breaches would normally come to the notice of the government
only in the event of a complaint ‑ most likely from a consumer group, a
religious movement, or a competitor.

## Nutritional Labeling

Government regulation for food label and advertisement requires that
information on the nutrition content should state the vitamin content,
mineral, or other kinds of nutrition supplements with in the following
order: total volume of energy based on amount of energy derived from
fat, protein, and carbohydrate; total volumes of fat, saturated fat,
cholesterol, carbohydrate, fiber, sugar, protein, vitamins and minerals.
The statement that the food is a source of a nutritional substance is
not be prohibited as long as the volume of nutrition in the relevant
food is at least 10% higher than the recommended daily nutrition
adequacy volume in a dose for the food.

Any claim for benefit to health must be supported on the basis of the
product composition and normal daily consumption. Implied claims are not
acceptable because they tend to mislead and do not fit the concept of
informing consumers of nutritional facts.

The Agency view is that claims for therapeutic or physiological benefit
can be divided into three classes:

1\. Nutritional claims relating to the food\'s value as a source of
energy, protein, vitamins, or minerals can be placed into two divisions:
identification of the elements present and clarification of their
benefits.

-   The nutritional elements must be listed and quantified. CODEX
    standards are to be used by preference, but are not permitted to
    conflict with BPOM guidelines.

-   Clarification of the benefits of the food elements is intended to
    improve the general knowledge of nutritional requirements in
    society. The clarification is not an essential addition to the
    listing of nutritional values, but if included it must be an
    addition, not substituted for the quantified list.

2\. Therapeutic claims relating to benefit in curing a disease or health
condition.

-   Food for the treatment of obesity or diet food may only be
    identified as such if the calorific value is at least 25% lower than
    regular food of the same type.

-   Food may be identified as \"diabetic food\" only if it does not
    contain carbohydrate, or the carbohydrates content is far lower than
    regular food of the same type, or the carbohydrate content is stated
    on the label. Diabetic food may not be labeled \"low in sugar\" or
    \"free of sugar\" if the food contains carbohydrates.

3\. Claims that a foodstuff has restorative effect. In this respect:

-   It is forbidden to claim that one foodstuff can ensure good health.

-   A claim that a foodstuff constitutes a tonic is not permitted. In
    general the word \"tonic\" should not be used except for \"tonic
    water\".

Health claims must be substantiated by legitimate research. Only a
functional claim that is not misleading is permitted. Examples of
acceptable claims are:

-   Calcium aids in the development of strong bones and teeth.

-   Protein helps to develop and restore body cells.

-   Iron is a factor in red blood cell formation.

-   Vitamin E helps protect fat from oxidation.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Folic acid aids in the development of fetal cranium and spinal cord.

Examples of non‑acceptable claims are:

-   Food with natural fiber content helps improve health and vitality.

-   Food for kids and baby with DHA content helps improve brain cells
    and intelligence.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Soy sauce helps to improve IQ.

In addition to the provisions specified for food labeling, the Consumer
Protection Act 1999 contains general provisions against misleading
claims. The provisions are wide ranging and apparently give consumers a
high degree of protection from unethical business practices. However,
enforcement of the provisions is still lax.

# SECTION III. PACKAGING AND CONTAINER REGULATIONS

Packaging is regulated under the Food Act of 1996 as follows:

-   Any person producing food for sale is forbidden to use any material
    that has been banned and/or can release contaminants that are
    dangerous or harmful to good health.

-   Food for sale is to be packaged using methods that avoid spoiling or
    contamination.

-   The government will decide if materials forbidden for use in
    packaging, and methods for packaging certain food.

-   If the effects of a packaging material on human health are not
    known, it can not be used before being checked for safety. New types
    of material may be used for packing food only after receiving
    government agreement.

-   No person is permitted to unwrap and re-pack food, except in the
    case of bulk food intended to be packed into smaller packages.

There are no industry regulations or practices applicable to package
size. Weights and measures used are metric, but imperial sizes labeled
with the corresponding metric value are acceptable. Waste disposal is
not regulated, except as covered in Section VI for time expired food.

# SECTION IV. FOOD ADDITIVE REGULATIONS

The Food Act of 1996 states that food additives are not to be used if
they have been banned and may not exceed specified limits. This implies
a \"negative\" regulation of food additives, but the subsequent clause
states that the government will determine which substances are banned as
food additives and may be used in food production and the content limit.
Hence the regulation is \"positive\" in that the government states those
additives that may be used.

Moreover, a regulation issued by the Director General for Control of
Food and Medicine, No. 02592/B/SK/VIII/91 makes it clear that all uses
of food additives require approval. The process to request approval is
detailed in that regulation, including sample forms to be completed and
sample approval forms. Approval is the prerogative of the Director of
Food Safety Evaluation, BPOM. The regulation states that approval will
be based on assessment against guidelines prepared by the head of BPOM.
There are other related regulations concerning food additives: Head of
BPOM decree in 2004, Ministry of Health regulation in 1999, Director
General Control of Food and Medicine in 1991, and Director General
Control of Food and Medicine decree in 1990.

Approved food additives may be used subject to limitations or conditions
in the approval granted. They may also be used in other food products
provided that their use does not contravene special conditions for that
product.

Every import of food additives must be reported in writing to the
Division of Food Certification, BPOM after the goods arrive in harbor.
The report must include:

-   The name of the substance and batch quantity and weight.

-   The name and address of the importer.

-   The name and address of the exporter.

-   The name and address of the producer.

-   The port and date of lading.

-   The port of destination and date of arrival.

-   The name, nationality, and registration number of the ship or
    aircraft carrying the food additive import.

-   The name and address of the warehouse and date into storage.

-   An outline of any accidents that may have occurred during shipping.

A certificate of analysis for the applicable batch must accompany every
import of food additives. The certificate may be issued by the
production plant or by the responsible authority in the country of
origin. Before the import is cleared from the point of entry the
Director of Food Certification, BPOM must agree to the certificate. If a
certificate does not accompany an intended import, then a certificate
must be requested from the Director of Food Certification before the
food additive shipment may enter the country. The certificate must
include:

-   Date that the sample was taken.

-   Batch number of the product

-   Test date.

-   Test method.

-   Statement that the test result was in accordance with criteria for
    the product.

A food additive product from an animal source must also have a
certificate of conformity with Islamic purity, \"Halal\". That
certificate is to be issued by the responsible authority in the country
of origin.

Food additives produced, imported, or distributed must comply with the
Indonesian Food Codex or conditions approved by BPOM. For food additives
not listed in the Indonesian Codex, or not having conditions determined
by the BPOM, then the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Commission, Food
Chemicals Codex, or appropriate European or FDA regulation applies.

# SECTION V. PESTICIDE AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS

Pesticides and other contaminants are positively regulated, in general
by the Food Act 1996 and in detail by a joint decree by the Minister for
Health and the Minister for Agriculture, plus a Health Department
regulation regarding metal contamination and also one concerning
microscopic organism contamination.

Regarding pesticide residues the joint decree states that:

-   The maximum allowable residue for products directly or indirectly
    consumed by humans is as per the appended list. (Ref: *Keputusan
    Bersama Menteri Kesehatan dan Menteri Pertanian Nomor:
    881/Menkes/SKB/VIII/1996, 711/Kpts/TP.270/8/96*).

-   Agricultural products circulated in Indonesia, whether locally
    produced or imported, are not permitted to contain higher levels of
    pesticide than those in the list.

-   Agricultural products imported with greater than the allowed
    pesticide residue must be refused.

-   Tests for pesticide residue are to be conducted in a laboratory
    appointed by the Minister for Health or the Minister for
    Agriculture.

-   The Minister of Health and the Minister of Agriculture will monitor
    and enforce the joint decree according to their tasks and functions.

-   The Minister of Health and the Minister of Agriculture will act in
    concert to make changes to the joint decree.

The list appended to the joint decree includes 218 pesticides and a
number of potentially contaminated agricultural products for each
pesticide. Example entries and the layout are as follows:

There is no provision for use of alternative standards, for example
CODEX, for pesticides not listed.

Regulation No. 03725/B/SK/VII/89 issued by the Director General for
Control of Food and Medicine specifies maximum allowable levels for
heavy metal contamination. The list covers six metals arsenic, lead,
copper, zinc, tin, and mercury. For each element an allowable level is
specified for fifteen food classes, for example fruit and fruit
products, soft drinks, and meat and derived products. The final category
is \"other food not listed above\" thus making the list comprehensive.

Similarly, Regulation No. 03726/B/SK/VII/89 issued by the Director
General for Control of Food and Medicine lists sixteen classes of food
and gives allowable limits for specified micro‑organisms in the food
categories.

Lists giving maximum allowable contamination of pesticide, metal, and
microscopic organisms can be obtained from BPOM.

# SECTION VI. OTHER REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

## Registration

All imported processed food products imported must be registered with
BPOM except for:

-   Processed food with a life of less than seven days at room
    temperature.

-   Processed food representing a donation to the government or to a
    social institution.

-   Processed food in small quantities for the specific purpose of
    registering with the BPOM, scientific research, or personal
    consumption.

While the regulation indicates that small quantities for personal
consumption do not require registration, Customs officials decide the
quantity permissible and so even small quantities have been seized and
subjected to approval procedures.

Registration requires submission of five standard forms in triplicate
together with:

-   A sample of the food.

-   The label (10 copies) and brochure if applicable.

-   For repackaged product, the operating license of the Indonesian
    business involved and a letter of reference from the original
    production plant.

-   For product produced under license, the Indonesian company\'s
    license and a letter of reference from the overseas factory.

-   For imported products a reference letter from the overseas factory,
    a health certificate and a radiation free certificate in accordance
    with existing law.

Information required on the forms includes, but is not limited to, the
following:

-   Form A provides general information about the food, the name and
    address of the applicant and the factory or company.

-   Form B gives the composition and quality of the product and its
    packaging.

-   Form C covers the production process including method of cleaning
    the inner wrapping and closure.

-   Form D explains quality control and final inspection.

-   Form E lists the documents and substances submitted by the
    applicant.

Once BPOM has received the submission and determined that it is
complete, BPOM will issue a Form M8. Incomplete submissions will be
returned with Form M9. The cost of the registration process is not
published in the regulations. Laboratory tests required would be
conducted at a facility nominated by BPOM at the expense of the
applicant.

Certificates required for the import of food products include:

-   BPOM Approval Registration (Form M1 or M2)

-   Radiation free for specific food types (see Section VII below)

-   Certification of Islamic purity standards ‑ \"Halal\"

-   Certificate of Health from Country of Origin (see Section VII below)

-   Irradiated food Certificate (see Section VII below)

-   Food additive analysis certificate (see Section IV above)

-   Alcoholic liquor requirements

Following consideration, the product may be:

1\. Registered with the issue of Form M1;

2\. Conditionally registered with the use of Form M2; or

3.  Rejected from registration via the issue of Form M3.

The Elimination of 10 Percent VAT on Imports of Certain Strategic
Taxable Goods

On January 8, 2007 the GoI issued the third amendment to GoI Regulation
No. 12/2001 on Imports and/or Delivery of Certain Strategic Taxable
Goods which Value Added Tax are Exempted. This regulation stated that in
order to accelerate the improvement and to increase the competitiveness
of business industry, i.e. in agricultural sector, the GoI decided that
on the import and/or delivery of certain strategic taxable goods the 10
percent VAT is eliminated.

# SECTION VII. OTHER SPECIFIC STANDARDS

## GMO's

Any producer using genetic engineering must ensure that the product is
safe for human consumption before distribution.

In terms of labeling requirements for GMO's: 1) The words GENETICALLY
ENGINEERED FOOD shall be contained in labels of food resulting from
genetic engineering; 2) For processed foods containing genetically
modified ingredients, identifying the genetically modified product in
the ingredient list is sufficient. However, specific implementing
provisions on the above requirements have not been issued nor has a
level been set for adventitious presence; thus, GMO labeling
requirements are not enforced.

## Halal Certification

Islamic purity: "Halal" is important. Any imported meat products should
have the halal certificates issued by approved Islamic Centers in the
United States. A list of eight approved Islamic Centers in the United
States. provided by the Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) and notified
by the Ministry of Agriculture on June 18, 2005, includes:

1.  Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA),
    Chicago-Illinois: for meat, chicken, and processed products

2.  Halal Food Council SEA, Salisbury, Maryland: for chicken, and
    processed products

3.  International Institute of Islamic Thought, Marjac Abbatoir,
    Virginia: for chicken only

4.  Islamic Service of Omaha (Halal Transaction), Omaha-Nebraska: for
    meat and chicken

5.  Islamic Service of America, Cedar Rapids -- Iowa: for meat, chicken,
    and processed food

6.  Muslim Consumer Group for Food Product, Rolling Meadows, Illinois:
    for meat, chicken, and processed food

7.  Islamic Information Center of America, Des Palines, Illinois: for
    meat, chicken, and processed food

8.  American Halal Foundation (AHF), Boling Brook, Illinois: for meat,
    chicken, and processed food

The phrase "*halal slaughtering of poultry*" refers to the slaughtering
of poultry by a Moslem butcher who is physically and spiritually healthy
and who performs his duties pursuant to Moslem procedures set forth in
the Codex Alimentarius Commission, CAC/GL 24-1997.

## Health Certificates

A health or safety certificate from the country of origin must accompany
all food imports. The certificate is to be issued by the responsible
authority in the country of origin or the exporting country. It should
state that the food is safe or fit for human consumption, and that its
distribution is permitted in the country of origin.

## Wine and Spirits

Alcoholic beverages are strictly controlled and subject to high rates of
excise. The

requirements for obtaining approval for importing alcoholic liquor are
stated in several Ministerial and Departmental documents that should be
researched before contemplating the export of alcohol.

## Irradiation Certificates

A certificate stating that the product is not contaminated by radiation
greater than the level stated is required to accompany imports of the
food types listed below:

-   Milk and milk products: Cs137 150 Bq/kg

-   Fresh or processed fruit and vegetables: Cs137 300 Bq/kg

-   Fish and seafood both fresh and processed: Cs137 100 Bq/kg

-   Meat and meat products: Cs137 100 Bq/kg

-   Mineral water: Cs137 150 Bq/kg

-   Cereals including corn flour and barley: Cs137 300 Bq/kg

The radiation compliance certificate is to be issued by the responsible
authority in the country of origin or exporting country.

Food products that may be irradiated are as follows:

-   Dry spices to prevent or retard insect infestation.

-   Tubers and root crops (potatoes, onions, garlic) to retard
    sprouting.

-   Grain cereals to prevent insect infestation.

Irradiated food must be labeled as such, using the specified green logo
and the word \"RADURA: PANGAN IRADIASI\". A certificate that states the
following information for the batch must accompany the food:

-   That the food has been irradiated.

-   The objective of the irradiation.

-   The national or international code of the radiation facility.

-   The date of treatment.

-   The radiation source used with the type, quantity and batch number
    of the food irradiated.

## Others

-   Milk products have special regulations.

-   Baby food has special regulations.

-   Food sanitation laws are contained in the guide to good food
    processing.

-   Seafood has a special law relating to production standards for
    export rather than for imports.

-   Animal quarantine applies and current law should be checked before
    planning export of live animals.

# SECTION VIII. COPYRIGHT AND TRADEMARK LAWS

Indonesian copyright law was released in 2002; patent and trademark laws
were released in 2001. This past year, Indonesia was moved from the U.S.
priority watch list to the U.S. watch list for protection of
intellectual property.

In general a copyright is valid for 50 years and a patent is valid for
10 to 20 years.

A trademark should be registered at the Directorate General for
Intellectual Property Rights in the Ministry of Justice and Human
Rights. Generally, the process requires over 1 year to complete.

Once registered, trademarks have to be extended every 10 years.

# SECTION IX. IMPORT PROCEDURES

Import procedures are relatively straightforward, but require meticulous
attention to detail. Seemingly insignificant omissions or errors can
result in considerable delay.

Import documents may be prepared in English, but the level of
comprehension by public servants is limited. As an example, Customs
would not accept the term \"cartage\" on an invoice as meaning a freight
charge because \"cartage\" is not in the most widely used
English‑Indonesian dictionary.

Documents should be concise, with simple language, and complete.

Standard documents, such as invoices, regularly used in the domestic
market, may not be suitable in export dealings. For example invoices
that show a list price, a discount percentage, and a total price charged
will result in the duty being levied based on the price before discount,
because the list price is the \"correct\" price.

If all documentation is complete, customs clearance could be finished in
two days. However, attention to detail is most important. Incomplete
documentation could result in delays of several weeks. For example,
processing BPOM registration can take eight weeks if no certificate
accompanies the goods.

A determination by a Government official can be appealed. However, the
official\'s determination would invariably be couched in terms of the
current legislation and hence would be unlikely to be over‑ruled.
Indonesian Courts give judgments on the basis of perceived justice, and
are not strictly bound by precedent. Hence decisions have a degree of
inconsistency and unpredictability.

To comply with the Minister of Health decree No. 180/Menkes/Per/IV/1985
concerning expired food, the BPOM issued a circular letter No.
0018/BB/EM/4.4/IV/90 and No. 0026/BB/EM/4.4/V/90 (implemented on August
1990) to clarify the expired date term for product to be imported as
follow:

  ---------------------------------- ------------------------------------
  Product shelf life                 Arrival at the destination port must
                                     be:

  \>= 2 years                        1.5 years before the expired date

  1 year                             8 months before the expired date

  6 months                           4 months before the expired date

  3 months                           2 months before the expired date
  ---------------------------------- ------------------------------------

#  

## Rice

The soaring price of medium quality rice in the domestic market during
the last quarter of 2006 and the first harvest delay during first
quarter of 2007 forced GOI to give rice import licenses to Bulog as
stated in the Minister of Trade Regulation No. 1294/M-DAG/12/2006 dated
December 27, 2006 and the Letter of Minister of Trade No.
208/M-DAG/2/2007 dated February 28, 2007.

The first regulation gave Bulog license to import approximately 500,000
tons of 15 percent broken rice classified in HS Code No. 1006.30.64.00.
The first tranche arrived at Javanese ports before February 28, 2007 for
rice being discharged and before March 30, 2007 for rice being
discharged at other ports.

The second regulation gave Bulog a license to import another 500,000
tons of maximum 15 percent broken rice classified in HS Code No. 1006
and an additional option of 500,000 tons to be executed if needed. Some
200,000 tons of rice out of the 500,000 tons can be imported in
cooperation with other parties and can be distributed directly to the
market and must arrive in Indonesian ports no later than March 31, 2007,
while the remaining 300,000 tons must arrive no later than May 15, 2007.
However, due to difficulties in finding Indonesian vessels to load the
rice and problems experienced by the exporting country to meet the rice
qualification required by GOI, the second tranche of the imports can not
be completed on time and the imported rice is still arriving Indonesian
ports until now.

Imports of specialty rice such as rice for medicinal purposes, 100
percent broken rice, and some other types of rice not produced in
Indonesia are allowed only after obtaining approval from the Ministry of
Trade based on a written recommendation from the Ministry of
Agriculture.

## Sugar

The Minister of Industry and Trade (MOIT) decree No. 18/M-DAG/PER/4/2007
dated April 30, 2007 as the fourth amendment to MOIT Decree No.
527/MPP/Kep/9/2004 stated that plantation white sugar (semi-refined, HS
No. 1701.91.00 and 1701.99.90) may only be imported by Registered
Importers for sugar (IT sugar), state-owned sugar mills that must have
75 percent of the cane they mill come from domestic farmers. Imported
semi-refined sugar shall have the minimum ICUMSA figures ranging from 70
IU to 200 IU. Semi-refined sugar can only be imported if the farm gate
price of semi-refined sugar is above Rp. 4,900/kg and if the domestic
production or supply of semi-refined sugar is not sufficient to meet
demand. Imports are strictly prohibited one month prior to, during, and
two months after the season when local cane is milled. The beginning and
end of the milling seasons is determined by the Minister of Agriculture.
These ITs are also instructed to support the price should it fall under
Rp. 4,900/kg. An IT is renewable for three years. Beside the
abovementioned ITs, the Minister of Trade may also appoint other
companies to import semi-refined sugar to support the price and to
maintain national semi-refined sugar stock.

Imports by IPs (Importers Producers) and ITs may be carried out upon
approval from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade in Ministry of
Trade based on the volume of sugar, type of sugar, ports of destination
and the valid period of import approval. The verification and technical
inspection by a surveyor appointed by the Minister of Trade would be
conducted in the country where shipments are made. The results of
verification and technical inspections will be issued as a Surveyor
Report and be used as an import document. Surveyors may charge to IPs,
ITs, or donors (for grant sugar) for their service. Verification and
technical inspections do not apply to imports of sugar intended for
research and technological development, samples, promotion, carried as
personal belongings, and packages of sugar sent via aircraft.

The acknowledgement of IPs and appointment of ITs, and the revocations
are managed by the Directorate General in the Ministry of Trade. ITs and
IPs are required to submit monthly reports to the Directorate General,
c/o Director for Import, Ministry of Trade with the copies to the
Directorate General for Chemical Industry, Agro, and Forest Products of
the Ministry of Trade and to the Directorate General for Estate Crop
Productions in the Ministry of Agriculture.

##### Seed

The Indonesian seed import and export procedures are mainly regulated
based on the Minister of Agriculture Regulation No. 37 and
38/Permentan/OT.140/8/2006 issued on August 31, 2006. Following is the
summary of the regulations:

## The Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture No. 37/Permentan/OT.140/8/2006 on Variety Testing, Evaluation, Release, and Withdrawal:

The objective of this regulation is to become the basis for variety
testing, evaluating, release, and withdrawal to affirm that the
varieties distributed in the market have potential quality and will not
be harmful to the environment and community.

Every variety, whether domestically produced or imported introductory
varieties proposed to be released in Indonesia must undergo an
adaptation test for seasonal crops or observation test for annual crops.
Before conducting the test, the requestor must report to the National
Seeds Agency (Badan Benih Nasional = BBN). Tests are evaluated by BBN
which is supported by the Variety Evaluation and Releasing Team. The
results are reported to the Minister of Agriculture. After completing
the test, the license from the variety holder must be attached to the
introductory varieties, the parent seed description must be attached to
the hybrid varieties, and genetically modified organism must meet the
bio security requirement.

All written proposals for tested and named variety releases must be
submitted to the Minister of Agriculture through BBN. For every
introductory hybrid variety, it must be documented that the seed can be
produced in Indonesia, and must have attached a guarantee letter from
the seed release requestor containing a statement that the F1 hybrid
seed will be produced in Indonesia within two years after the date of
the release.

Based on the BBN recommendation, the Minister of Agriculture can release
the variety to the market or reject the variety. A released variety will
be published in a Minister Decision letter on variety release, while the
seed release requestor of a rejected variety will be informed in a
written notification containing the refusal reason. An already released
variety can be withdrawn from the market if it is proven to spread new
and dangerous pests or disease and cause some loss to the environment
and the community.

## The Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture No. 38/Permentan/OT.140/8/2006 on Seed Import and Export:

The objective of the regulation is to guarantee the genetic resource
sustainability, to improve genetic resource diversity, to maintain bio
security, to guarantee seed availability, to develop the domestic seed
industry, and to increase national income. This regulation covers import
and export licenses.

Seed for research purposes or non-research purposes can be imported
after receiving a license from the Minister of Agriculture.

To acquire an import license for research purposes, the seed a person, a
legal entity, or a government institution is applying for must meet the
following requirements:

-   The amount of seed or parent seed is limited only to meet the
    research needs stated in the summary of the research proposal.

-   The seed or parent seed are not currently available in Indonesia

-   The seed must be completed with a seed description

-   The seed must comply with the plant quarantine law.

The Head of the Agricultural Research and Development Agency will issue
the import license for research purposes and must receive the import
realization report from the importer.

The seed that a person, a legal entity, or a government institution is
seeking to acquire an import license for must meet the following
requirements:

-   The variety must exhibit potential quality, uniqueness, and specific
    uses.

-   The amount is limited to what is needed for the seed release
    preparation.

-   The seed has already been released in the Indonesian market but the
    amount is not sufficient to meet domestic demand or the propagation
    cannot be conducted in Indonesia.

-   Must comply with plant quarantine law.

The import license for non-research purposes will be issued by the
Director General of each crop (Horticulture, Food Crops, and Estate).
The import license can be used for:

-   variety release preparation

-   F1 seed procurement

-   plant observer needs

-   export objective needs

Imports of transgenic seeds for non-research purposes must pass bio
security and food security tests.

The Head of the Agricultural Research and Development Agency and the
Director General of each crop who will issue the import license will
coordinate with the Head of the Agricultural Quarantine Agency.

To acquire a seed import license, an importer must first submit a
written request to the Head of the License and Investment Center (Pusat
Perijinan dan Investasi = PPI) complete with the Information Required
for Seed Introduction/Importation to Indonesia form. The Head of the
License and Investment Center will forward the request to each
Directorate General or Head of Agricultural Research and Development
Agency within 3 working days after receiving the importer request. The
decision to accept, postpone or reject the import request will be issued
within 10 working days after they receive the request from the Head of
PPI. If no notification is received by an importer after 10 working
days, it means that the import license request is accepted. The seed
import license will be valid for six months, and import must be
completed within that period of time.

The importer must submit the seed or parent seed import license to
quarantine officials at the entrance point. The seed or parent seed
importer must:

-   Have a data record of the imported seed and must keep the record for
    one year.

-   Report to the Head of the Agricultural Research and Development
    Agency or Director General with a cc to the Head of PPI on the
    import progress.

In addition to this regulation, the Decision of the Head of the
Agricultural Quarantine Agency No. 152/Kpts/PD.540/L/8/03 stated that
the import of seed must:

-   be accompanied with a Phytosanitary from the country of origin and
    transit country.

-   be through the determined entrance point.

-   be reported and delivered to Plant Quarantine Officials at the
    entrance point for quarantine treatments.

-   be accompanied with an Import License form the Ministry of
    Agriculture or appointed officials.

-   Be accompanied by the original copies of the phyto and import
    license, copies of invoice, packing list, and airway bill or bill of
    lading to be produced for review by Quarantine Officials.

A similar procedure is imposed on seed exports.

Although no Indonesian quarantine lab has been accredited by ISTA, the
Ministry refers to the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures
from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization for every
quarantine inspection and action taken. However, the seed industry
reports some cases where Indonesian labs showed a different
understanding of what is classified as a seed borne disease. There was
also a report that a certain pest or disease that was declared absent on
the phytosanitary certificate was found during the test in the
Indonesian lab. When such a case occurs all of the imported seed must be
burned, with no chance for re-export.

Approximately IDR 450/kg Import Duty is currently imposed on the imports
of rice seed since GOI classifies it HS code 1006.10.00 unhusked rice
instead of HS code 1006.10.10 unhusked rice seed suitable for sowing. No
import duty is imposed on the import of other seed variety.

## Biotechnology

On October 19, 2004, the President signed into law the ratification of
the Cartagena Protocol. The Ministry of Environment, with input from
related ministries, finalized a "national biosafety framework," which
will be used as a foundation for designing regulations to implement the
Biosafety Protocol. These regulations have not yet been issued, so the
signing of the Cartagena Protocol has not had any impact on trade.

In May 2005, a new regulation was issued, which names the Ministry of
Environment as the focal point for approvals on foods containing
genetically modified organisms (GMO). This new regulation effectively
halted progress on approvals already underway. Relevant ministries will
need to issue new guidelines to implement the new government regulation.
The process for obtaining approval to market foods containing GMOs is
still unclear and no definite guidelines exist on what is required to
import such foods. BPOM will continue to conduct the food safety
assessments on these products, but it remains unclear exactly what will
be assessed and what will be required of those seeking approval. Also,
as stated above, labeling regulations pertaining to foods containing
GMOs remain un-enforced.

## Meat and Poultry Products

### Importers' requirement

An Import Permission Certificate, issued by the Director General of
Livestock Services (DGLS), must accompany every import of poultry and
meat. In a letter, requesting the certificate, importers must indicate
the product being imported, quantity, and destination (restaurant,
hotel, wet market, etc.).

### Exporters' requirements

In December 24, 2002, the DGLS issued a decree letter regarding the
requirements and procedures necessary for a specific country to gain
eligibility to export meat and other livestock products, including
poultry, to Indonesia. Below is a summary of these requirements:

First, the exporter's government should submit an official request to
the office of Veterinary Public Health, DGLS, to bring the products to
the country. Based on the official request, DGLS Services will send a
questionnaire to obtain information on the status of animal diseases and
the food safety system in the exporting country. Upon receipt, DGLS
will: 1) approve; 2) request additional information; or 3) reject the
application. If approved, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be
signed between the Indonesian government and the exporting country,
acknowledging the requirements. The MOU is void if: 1) the government of
Indonesia suspends imports from a country due to a violation of health
requirements or halalness; 2) in two consecutive years the approved
exporting country failed to export meat to Indonesia. An exporting
country whose approval certificate is declared null and void is required
to file a new application if the country plans to resume export of
poultry meat or parts of poultry meat to Indonesia.

Following the approval as an exporting country, evaluation of individual
slaughterhouses and processing plants is required. First, a plant that
intends to export its products to Indonesia must submit an official
request to the Indonesian DGLS, through the Veterinary Public Health
agency. Based on the request, DGLS sends an application form to obtain a
general description of the business unit, including information relating
to veterinary public health. Then, the application form submitted is
reviewed to determine if a plant fulfills Indonesian export
requirements. Upon completion of the review, DGLS will recommend if: 1)
an on-site review is needed; 2) an on-site review is delayed to allow
for improvements or additional information; 3) the application is
rejected. A team of auditors, appointed by DGLS, will conduct the
on-site review. Team members will review: 1) the food safety assurance
program in the establishment; 2) the halal assurance in the
establishment; 3) and the Halal certificate issued by an authorized
Halal Certification Institution. The on-sites review will be conducted
at the establishment and the Halal Certification Institution or listed
Islamic Organization in the country of origin. On-site reviews may also
be conducted on the authorized agencies in the country of origin to
verify conditions on animal diseases, animal health status, and
supervision of the animal-based foods safety system.

Upon completion of the on-site reviews, the audit team member may either
recommend an approval, a rejection, or improvements. Based on the
recommendation, the DGLS issues either an approval, a postponement, or a
rejection of the business unit to export all meat to Indonesia.

The regulation also states that DGLS may also appoint Indonesian
inspectors to oversee application of food safety requirements and halal
assurances during production. The inspectors will inspect unit
facilities, sanitation programs, slaughtering procedures, carcass and
product inspections, transport and warehouse facilities, port
facilities, and shipping processes.

A team of Indonesian auditors will conduct random surveillance of a
processing unit that is certified to export its products to Indonesia.
Surveillance is conducted at least once every two years.

### 

### Ruminant Product Imports from the United States

Due to a second reported case of BSE in the United States, the Ministry
of Agriculture banned imports of U.S. meat and other ruminant products
on 1 July 2005

#### 

The Minister of Agriculture released regulation No.
64/Permentan/OT.140/12/2006 dated December 28, 2006 and No.
27/Permentan/OT.140/3/2007 regarding the importation and control of
distribution of carcasses, meat and edible offal from foreign countries.
These regulations control the importation of those products from large
size ruminants, small size ruminants, pork, poultry, as well as
processed meat. An import permit from the Ministry is required before
importing ruminant products. GOI is limiting beef import to boneless
beef from animals less than 30 months from countries classified as
negligible BSE risk and controlled BSE risk. In addition, it requires
that GOI officials inspect all plants for safety considerations and
halal.

The Ministry of Agriculture regulation No. 482/Kpts/PD.620/8/2006 states
regulations regarding the importation of ruminant and its product from a
country or zone infected with BSE. Ruminants and its products that are
allowed to be imported from countries classified as negligible BSE risk
and controlled BSE risk include Meat Bone Meal (MBM) and pet food also
containing non ruminant materials. MBM should be from animals less than
30 months, and it never fed with MBM.

**Poultry Products from the United States**

Imports of U.S. poultry parts are effectively banned. In September 2000,
the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) declared that the "Halalness" of U.S.
poultry parts could not be guaranteed, shutting off imports. MOA has
since further stated that trade in poultry parts cannot resume until an
overall review of U.S. sanitary and halal certification systems is
conducted.

MOA has banned the importation of U.S. chicken leg quarters since 2000.
The ban was instituted without notification, just based on concerns that
U.S. poultry parts were not halal. A secondary reason stated was to
protect local broiler producers.

## Fresh Fruit And Vegetables

On January 27, 2006, the Minister of Agriculture issued a decree on the
requirements and plant quarantine actions for the importation of fresh
fruit and vegetables into the territory of the Republic of Indonesia No.
37/Kpts/HK.060/1/2006. The purpose of this rule is to ensure that fresh
fruit and vegetables are free from fruit flies. The mandatory
requirements are: plant phytosanitary certificate from country of origin
or country of transit, entry through the specified seven ports.
Importation of fresh fruit and vegetables originating from pest free
producing areas must be declared in Additional Declaration section of
the plant phytosanitary certificate that accompanies the shipment.
Importation from production areas not free must be given a treatment
that may take the form of cold treatment with temperature appropriate
for fresh fruit and vegetables and for the prevention of the appropriate
pest. The treatment must be declared in the treatment section of the
phytosanitary certificate. Importation "plan" of fresh fruit and
vegetables that include the amount, type of product, brand, type of
packaging, type of transportation, container information, country of
origin, entrance port, and transit location, should be submitted prior
to the loading of the goods in the country of origin to the Head of
Operational Plant Quarantine with attention to the Unit Head of
Operational Plant Quarantine in the destination port. Head of Quarantine
Agency will determine further treatment instruction after reviewing the
importation "plan". This new regulation was effective on March 27, 2006.

Imported fresh fruit and vegetables treatments were identified in the
Head of the Agricultural Quarantine Agency decree No.
53/Kpts/HK.060/3/06 in March 2006.

In October 2006, the Ministry of Agriculture released regulation No.
52/Permentan/OT.140/10/2006 on Additional requirements of plant
quarantine. The regulation stated mandatory and additional requirements
for plant quarantine action. Additional requirements include specific
treatment in country of origin as specified in the treatment column on
the attached certificate of plant qualification and plant quarantine
action in third country as stated in certificate of plant health,
treatment certificate, plant health certificate, and certification of
origin.

During December 2006, the Head of the Agricultural Quarantine Agency
released decree No. 348/Kpts/PD.540.220/12/06 to establish California as
a free area for mediterania fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) in the United
Sates.

Procedures to treat imported fresh fruit and vegetables were identified
in a decree from the Head of the Agricultural Quarantine Agency No.
18/Kpts/HK.060/L/07. This decree allows for cold treatment during
shipment which is to be noted in the Additional Declaration on
Phytosanitary Certificate from the country of origin and as well as from
the transit country on the Phytosanitary Certificate for Re-Export.

## Alcoholic Beverages

Based on decree of the Minister of Industry and Trade NO.
406/MPP/Kep/6/2004, dated June 25, 2004, only two government owned
companies have been appointed as registered alcoholic beverage
importers. One supplies hotels, pubs, restaurants, and members of Hotel
and Restaurant Association. The other supplies duty free stores. Every
semester, GOI issues an import quota of beer, wine, and spirits.

On March 29, 2006, Minister of Trade released decree No:
15/M-DAG/PER/3/2006 concerning monitoring, controlling, distributing,
selling, and licensing of alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages are
classified into three categories: A is for alcoholic beverages with 1-5%
ethanol (C2H5OH) content; B with 5-20% ethanol; and C with 20-55%
ethanol. The government controls the production, importation,
distribution and selling of alcoholic beverages in category B and C.
Importers of an categories are determined and assigned quotas by the
Minister. The Minister determines the type and the amount of the
products to be imported. Distributors and sub distributors of categories
B and C are not allowed to retail products. Retailers for categories B
and C are only permitted to sell products to be consumed directly in the
hotels (3,4, and 5 star), certain restaurants, bars, pubs, night clubs,
and in certain places assigned by a mayor or head of district. Duty free
shop is the only outlet that is allowed to sell B and C category
products in smaller package (\<187 ml).

October 13, 2006, the Minister of Finance released a regulation on
excise duties for drinks and concentrates containing ethyl alcohol. This
regulation has been in force since November 1, 2006.

# SECTION X. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

As this report indicates, many of Indonesia's regulations related to
food imports are either not enforced at all, or are only enforced in a
haphazard manner. Therefore, it is essential that exporters confer with
local importers and agents to determine prevailing requirements on
imports.

Food law in Indonesia controls domestic production, import of
foodstuffs, processing and distribution. Import licensing is no longer
generally required (except for meat, poultry, and other livestock
products), but imported food products must be registered with the
Department of Health before clearance through the Customs.

Packaged food for sale in the Indonesian market must be labeled in the
Indonesian language and must conform to mandatory inclusions. The
original \"use by date\" affixed by the producer may not be altered by
the importer, and \"best before \...\" dates are interpreted as expiry
dates. The consumer protection law requires that the date of production
be shown on the package. In some cases the exporter and importer could
be jointly liable for penalties if the law was not observed. Moreover
strict conditions apply to some products, notably food additives and
alcoholic liquor.

It is important to obtain \"Halal\" certification to market a food
product, particularly those of animal origin. The process should be
verified with the Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) because
certification specifically for Indonesia must be obtained.

The process for registration of food is time consuming and should be
carried out before shipping. The typical amount of time required for an
uncomplicated approval is reported to be two months.

Transportation and storage infrastructure in Indonesia is limited, and
hence availability of suitable facilities should be checked before
shipping. Tropical conditions lead to rapid deterioration of products if
not adequately protected.

Protection of intellectual property is underdeveloped in Indonesia, but
trademarks should be registered to provide an element of protection. The
process is not expensive but requires two years to complete. However,
once registered the trademark remains valid indefinitely.
