Minister of Finance Decree No. 10/MK/BC/2025 on Goods Restricted for Import Based on Minister of Trade Regulation No. 16 of 2025 on Import Policy and Arrangements as Amended by Minister of Trade Regulation No. 37 of 2025 on Amendment to Minister of Trade Regulation No. 16 of 2025 on Import Policy and Arrangements

Minister of Finance Decree No. 10/MK/BC/2025 on Goods Restricted for Import under Minister of Trade Regulation No. 16 of 2025 on Import Policy and Arrangements as Amended by Minister of Trade Regulation No. 37 of 2025 on Amendment to Minister of Trade Regulation No. 16 of 2025 on Import Policy and Arrangements (“KMK-10”) was stipulated on November 3, 2025 and became effective on November 5, 2025.

 

KMK-10 was issued due to changes in import policies set by the Ministry of Trade in certain sectors, thereby requiring alignment of supervision in the customs domain. Additionally, supervision of restricted imports (Lartas) serves as a form of control to protect domestic industries, consumers, and state revenues.

 

This regulation governs two key matters:

    1. Supervision of Import Restriction
      Customs must supervise the entry of goods that are restricted for import in accordance with the applicable Minister of Trade regulations. Goods may only have their customs clearance completed if the importer fulfills the required permits and technical documents.
    2. Determination of Restricted Goods in a Separate Document
      The list of goods restricted for import is not included in this decree. Instead, it will be stipulated in a separate ministerial decision to function as a technical reference for business actors.

Supervision of import restrictions applies to:

    1. All importation of goods from abroad; and
    2. The entry and removal of goods to and from:
      • Free Trade Zones and Free Ports (KPBPB);
      • Bonded Storage Areas (TPB); and
      • Special Economic Zones (KEK).

 

KMK-10 also provides exemptions for new goods intended for investment purposes, including:

  • Certain textiles and textile products;
  • Certain electronics and telematics products;
  • Goods for certain industries; and
  • Certain consumer goods.

 

Exemptions may be granted only if:

  • The goods were shipped before November 5, 2025, evidenced by a Bill of Lading (BL) or Air Waybill (AWB); and
  • The goods arrive at the destination port no later than February 3, 2026, supported by BC 1.1 manifest evidence.

 

In the event that the underlying import restriction regulation issued by the Ministry of Trade is revoked and customs supervision is no longer required, this KMK shall automatically cease to apply.
