On 11 August, FAS/Jakarta received a copy of a Ministry of Industry
Trade (MOIT) Decision that provides for the resumption of imports of
U.S. deboned beef, hearts, livers, semen, and embryos.

The decision was taken following several weeks of uncertainty regarding
eligibility of U.S. ruminant product imports. On 31 May, 2004 (see ID
4018), the Ministry of Agriculture Announced that imports of some U.S.
ruminant products could resume. The 31 May ruling was followed by a 21
June, 2004 Ministry of Agriculture announcement (see ID 4019), which
further defined the conditions and products that could enter. Shortly
thereafter, however, the MOIT expressed it objections to the Ministry of
Agriculture's decision to allow imports, for the Trade Ministry
continued to have a standing decree banning U.S. ruminant product
imports. Thus, MOIT instructed Indonesia's customs service to stop all
U.S. ruminant product imports. Following several meetings between
related government Ministries, and local private sector stakeholders,
the MOIT amended the standing ban with this decision to allow imports of
deboned beef, hearts, livers, semen, and embryos.

The decision also stipulates that only product that has arrived after 15
July (based on a shipping line's "notice of arrival" manifest to the
importer) will be allowed to enter. This date, which was the subject of
much debate among interested parties, was based on a 45 day period from
the date (May 31,2004) that the Ministry of Agriculture had initially
ruled that imports could resume. The 45 days was apparently the
estimated time it would take for U.S. product to get to Indonesia
following notice that trade could resume.

The decision includes a list of products (corresponding HS codes) that
remain banned. This list is attached.

Notably, this revised list of banned products does not have several
boneless beef categories (0201.30.000, 0202.30.000), and livers
(0206.22.000), which did appear in MOIT's original decree. Also, all
products under category 0511.10.000 have now been removed from the
import ban. While no specific HS category for hearts exist, the Decision
specifically states that hearts can be imported.
