JAKARTA \u2013 Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga\nHartarto has affirmed that the reciprocal tariff trade agreement, or\nAgreements on Reciprocal Trade (ART), between Indonesia and the United\nStates remains in force.<\/p>\n
The US Supreme Court previously annulled the reciprocal tariff policy\nimplemented by President Donald Trump. Airlangga stated that the\nagreement does not take immediate effect after being signed.<\/p>\n
The agreement remains pending ratification and a 90-day transition\nperiod.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has not been annulled. The agreement only takes effect after 90\ndays and after ratification,\u201d Airlangga said when met at the Ministry of\nManpower Office in Jakarta on Friday (27 February 2026).<\/p>\n
Airlangga confirmed that zero tariff facilities for more than 1,800\ntariff lines of Indonesian products remain a crucial component of the\nagreement. These facilities are expected to expand export market access\nto the United States.<\/p>\n
\u201cZero tariffs for more than 1,800 tariff lines are one of our main\nassets, so we hope the export market can continue to develop,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
The general reciprocal tariff previously imposed at 19 per cent on\nIndonesian products has now decreased to 15 per cent. The reduction\nfollows the tariff import policy that applies uniformly to all\ncountries.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 19 per cent tariff has now become 15 per cent,\u201d Airlangga\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Indonesia had previously requested that the US maintain zero per cent\nimport tariffs for national flagship products in accordance with the ART\nagreement.<\/p>\n
This request was made after the US Supreme Court annulled the\nemergency tariff policy that has been in place since last year.<\/p>\n
The ART document allows 60 days for both countries to ratify the\nagreement. Implementation of the ART may undergo adjustments following\npolicy dynamics in each country.<\/p>\n
Airlangga stated that Indonesia is open to a general import tariff of\n10 per cent. The government continues to request tariff exemptions for\nflagship commodities such as coffee, cocoa, and other agricultural\nproducts in accordance with the ART document.<\/p>\n
The government also requested that the US maintain zero per cent\nimport tariffs for flagship industries such as textiles and apparel.<\/p>\n
Airlangga explained that Indonesia still has the legal opportunity to\nenjoy these tariff exemptions. This facility is contained in a\npresidential order or executive order that differs from the regulations\nannulled by the US Supreme Court.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/airlangga-guarantees-indonesian-products-maintain-zero-tariff-rate-from-trump-others-at-15-per-cent-1772204488", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
