This is the Reason the Government Limits Imports of Refrigerators, Air Conditioners and Washing Machines


The Ministry of Industry has issued a new regulation that limits the import of a number of electronic goods. This new policy is stated in the Regulation of the Minister of Industry Number 6 of 2024 concerning Procedures for Issuing Technical Considerations for Importing Electronic Products.

The reason behind the new policy is to create a conducive business climate for electronic goods manufacturers who have invested in Indonesia.

On the other hand, this policy is also a follow-up to President Joko Widodo’s (Jokowi) direction regarding the condition of the electronic product trade balance in 2023 which is still in deficit.

In total, there are 78 electronic goods whose imports are restricted. “Some of the products included in the 78 tariff items include air conditioners, televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, fiber optic cables, refrigerators, laptops and several other electronic products,” said the Director of the Electronics and Telematics Industry (IET) of the Ministry of Industry, Priyadi Arie Nugroho in his statement quoted Friday (11/4/2024).
