Global Trade Alert

On 19 April 2013, the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture issued regulation 47/Permentan/OT.140/4/2013 simplifying the process of getting a Horticultural Importation Approval. In particular, it is easier to obtain an Import Recommendation of Horticulture Products (RIPH), which is issued by the Ministry of Agriculture.
The regulation affects Registered Importers (IT-Produk), as well as importers producing horticulture products (IP-Produk).
The regulation came into force on the day of its issuance. It was replaced by regulation 86/Permentan/OT.140/8/2013 (see related state acts). However, as the provisions described above have not changed, this intervention continues to be classified as implemented.
