With increasing global protectionism and unpredictable tariffs, companies are searching for ways to optimize trade routes and reduce customs costs. Indonesia’s SEZs offer a solution: manufacture locally, export globally — and avoid trade war penalties.
Products manufactured in Indonesia qualify for ASEAN origin status, giving exporters access to preferential tariffs under RCEP, AANZFTA, and other trade deals. That’s why companies in electronics, furniture, garments, and packaging are setting up production bases in Indonesia.
Strategic Advantage:
- Avoid U.S.–China tariff risks by rerouting production through Indonesia.
- Export goods as “Made in Indonesia” to markets in ASEAN, Japan, Australia, and even Europe.
- Benefit from customs and VAT exemptions in SEZs during production and export.
Legal Essentials:
- Exporters must comply with local content rules and origin certification.
- Products must meet Indonesian and destination market regulations.
- Proper setup of logistics, customs handling, and supplier contracts is vital.
