To accommodate the developments in the import sector, on
September 25, 2023, the Government of Indonesia (the
"Government") enacted Government
Regulation No. 46 of 2023 on the Amendment to the Government
Regulation No. 28 of 2021 on the Implementation of the Industrial
Sector ("GR 46/2023"). The amendments
under GR 46/2023 include the alterations and deletions of
provisions associated with the import of raw and/or supporting
materials (collectively, the
"Materials").
Today, imports of Materials are not always carried out by the
holders of Producer Importer Identification Number (Angka
Pengenal Importir Produsen or
"API-P"), but there are also business
models that require the imports of Materials to be performed by
holders of General Importer Identification Number (Angka
Pengenal Importir Umum or "API-U").
In this regard, the Government views that it is necessary to issue
a regulation as the basis to enable the holders of API-U to import
the Materials.
