  As seen in Table above, there was a surge increased in imports relative to the national production 
during the investigation period, from 100 indexed points in 2016 to 131.10 indexed points in 2017, 
and continued to increase to 203.42 indexed points in 2018 . During 2016 -2018, imports relative to 
the national production was increased with trend of 42.62% . Imports relative to the national 
production during the period of 2018 (January -June) to 2019 (January -June) also experienced an 
increased by 27.83% from 100 indexed points to 127.83 indexed points . 
The relative increases in imports to domestic production of each product categories are listed in

From the table above, the biggest shares of import in 2018 was the People's Republic of China, which 
its shares of import in 201 8 accounted for 67.86%.  Other countr ies with share of imports above 3% 
during 2018 are  the Republic of Korea (11.07%), Hong Kong (6.76%) , and Taiwan (5.65 %). 
4  UNFORESEEN DEVELOPME NT 
The increased imports of the Subject Goods from the exporting countries were unforeseeable. This 
is caused by a significant increase in investment of the textile industry in China since 2016 and the 
impact of trade wars between C hina and the United States (US) in 2018 and 2019 which led to a 
shift in Chinese exports from the US to other countries and aggravate the surge in imports from 
China in Indonesia.  
Based on the China Statistical Yearbook 2017 -2019, investment in the Chinese  textile industry sector 
increases every year during the period of 2016 -2018 which caused an increased in the fixed assets 
in the same period. As is known, fixed assets are tangible assets that are used in the production or 
supply of goods, including machi nery, production equipment, factory buildings, and so on, so that 
with the addition of investment and fixed assets have caused the production and production capacity 
of the textile industry in China also experienced an increase. Increased production and pr oduction 
capacity as a result of increased investment and fixed assets in the textile industry sector in China 
was an unexpected condition (unforeseen) which indirectly caused increased in exports of the 
Subject Good of all segments from China to other cou ntries, including Indonesia.  
Moreover, the trade war between US and China in 2018 and 2019 also had a significant impact on 
the rapid supply of imported goods from China, especially for yarn, fabric, and other textile derivative 
products. As a result of im posing high tariffs on these goods, producers in China diverted their 
exports unforeseeably from the US to other countries that have large markets, one of which is 
Indonesia, causing a surge increased in imports of Subject Good of all segments in Indonesia . 
C.  EVIDENCE OF SERIOUS INJURY OR THREAT THE REOF CAUSED BY INCRE ASED IMPORTS  
In a view to determine the existence of serious injury or threat of serious injury that is caused by 
increased imports, the Investigating Authority has analyzed and made an evaluation of all relevant 
factors in an objective and quantifiable natures. The following analyses are based on data provided 
by the Applicant, which has been verified by the Investigating Authority.  G/SG/N/8/IDN/23 • G/SG/N/10/IDN/23

Based on the table above, it can be concluded that during the investigation period the surge in 
market share of imports has eroded the domestic market share of both the Applicant and the 
Non-Applicant.  
From 2016 to 2018 national co nsumption has increased with a trend of 5.11%. Conversely, volume 
of imports experienced a surge with a trend of 31.80% in the same period. The increase in the 
imports of the Subject Good resulted in a decline in the market share of the Applicant and 
Non-Applicant with a trend of 9.73% and 10.61%, respectively. Meanwhile, in the same period the 
market share of imports increased with a trend of 25.39%. In the period of 2018 (January -June) to 
2019 (January -June) the market share of imports experienced another  increase from 100 indexed 
points to 117.30 indexed points  and resulted in the decline of the Applicant's and Non -Applicant's 
market share to 88.01 indexed points and 92.47 indexed points respectively.

  As shown in Table 5, the performance of the applicant can be seen as follows:  
a) Production experienced a decrease with a trend of 6.34% from 100 indexed points in 2016 
to 95.60 indexed points in 2017 and decreased again to 87.71 indexed points in 2018. 
Likewise, production experienced a decrease by 9.17% in the period of 2018 (January -June) 
from 100 indexed point to 90.83 indexed points in the period 2019 (January -June).  
b) Domestic Sales decreased with a trend of 5.12% during 2016 -2018, from 100 indexed points 
in 2016 to 97.44 indexed points in 2017 and then decreased again to 90.03 indexed points 
in 2018. Likewise, in the period of 2018 (January -June) the domestic sal es experienced a 
significant decrease by 13.23% from 100 indexed points to 86.77 indexed points in the 
period of 2019 (January -June).  
c) Productivity in 2016 was 100 indexed points, declined to 98.36 indexed points in 2017 and 
96.76 indexed points in 2018. Du ring 2016 -2018 the applicant's productivity has decreased 
with a trend of 1.64%. Likewise, in the period of 2018 (January -June) productivity decreased 
by 3.22% from 100 indexed points to 96.78 indexed points in the period of

h) Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that during the investigation period, 
the Applicant experienced serious injury  based on the Applicant's performance that indicated 
a downward trend in production, domestic sales, productivity, utilization capacity, 
employment, increased losses, and increased inventory.  
The Applicant's performance indicators related to all products c oncerned in the safeguard 
investigation are presented at the table above, whereas the indicators related to each category are 
given in the Annex  II. 
2  OTHER FACTORS THAT M AY CONTRIBUTE TO INJ URY 
In order to ensure that the serious injury or threat of serious  injury is only caused by increased 
imports, the Investigating Authority has examined the following other known factors:  
a. Technology  
Based on the results of the investigation, the Applicant already has the latest technology in 
producing the Subject Good. Th is argument is supported by the fact that the Applicant's G/SG/N/8/IDN/23 • G/SG/N/10/IDN/23  
- 6 - 
  machinery is able to produce sophisticated goods for the consumers. This shows that the 
threat of a serious injury suffered by the Applicant is not caused by technology.  
b. Quality  
The quality of goods  produced by the Applicant has met the international standards such as 
LRQA ISO 9001:2015 and OEKO -TEX certificate. Thus, in terms of quality, goods produced by 
the Applicant  are able to compete with imported goods because they already met the 
internationa lly recognized standards.  
c. Competition between domestic producers

Non-Applicant's market share  100 91.62  79.90  100 92.47  
Source:  Statistics Indonesia and as verified by the Investigating Authority.  
As shown in Table above, during period of 2016 to 2018 the Applicant's market share decreased 
from 100 indexed points in 2016 to 95.00 indexed points in 2017 and 81.48 indexed points in 2018. 
In line with the Applicant's market share, the Non -Applicant's market share also decreased from 
100 indexed points in 2016 to 91.62 indexed points in 2017  and 79.90 indexed points in 2018. As 
oppose, during the same period the import market share increased significantly from 100 indexed 
points in 2016 to 119.47 indexed points in 2017 and 157.22 indexed points in 2018. Likewise  in the 
2018 period (January -June) the import market share increased from 100 indexed points to 
117.30  indexed points in the 2019 period (January -June) while the market share of Applicant and 
Non-Applicant has decreased. This proves that the competition be tween the Applicant and 
Non-Applicant is not a factor that causes a serious injury of the Applicant.  
Based on the facts of a) to c) above, it can be concluded that  during the period of investigation  there 
were no other factors that caused serious injury to the Applicant besides increased volume of imports 
of the Subject Goods.  
3  CAUSAL LINK  
The Investigating Authority has examined all  relevant  factors having a bearing in the Applicant 
situation, and came into a conclusion that serious injury suffered  by the Applicant mainly caused by 
significant increased volume of imports and not due to the other factors, as follows:  
a) There was a surge increase of Subject Good in absolute terms in 2016 -2018 with a trend of 
31.80%. Likewise, t he volume of imports incre ased by 15.65% in the period of 
2018 (January -June) to 2019 (January -June).  
b) There was a surge increase of Subject Good in relative to domestic production in 2016 -2018 
with a trend of 42.62%. Likewise, t he relative increase in imports to domestic production  
increased by 27.83% in the period of 2018 (January -June) to 2019 (January -June).  
c) Imports' market share has increased with a trend of 25.39% in 2016 -2018 and in the period 
of 2018 (January -June) to 2019 (January -June) the imports' market share increased by  
6.34%.  
d) The Applicant's market share has decreased with a trend of 9.73% and the Non -Applicant's 
market share has also decreased with a trend of 10.61% during 2016 -2018. Moreover, in 
the period of 2018 (January -June) to 2019 (January -June) the market share  of the Applicant 
and non -Applicant experienced further decrease.  G/SG/N/8/IDN/23 • G/SG/N/10/IDN/23

  e) Downward trend in production, domestic sales, productivity, utilization capacity, 
employment, increased losses, and increased inventory.  
f) There were no other factors that caused a serious inj ury to the Applicant besides increased 
volume of imports of the Subject Goods.
