Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2013 The latest Regulation of the Minister for\nMicro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) will regulate the existence\nof contracts between e-commerce platforms and sellers. The rule ensures\nmarketplaces do not arbitrarily raise prices on their platforms.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, I am a micro-entrepreneur; I have already prepared a\ncashflow plan for one year. What are my post-production costs,\noverheads, and so on. For a year. If suddenly, before the year is up,\nprices rise. This would disrupt the cashflow of fellow sellers,\u201d said\nUMKM Minister Maman Abdurrahman when asked at the DPR RI complex, Monday\n(18\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n
He explained that the short-term contract is made for one year. The\ncontract contains predetermined tariffs and cannot be increased during\nthat period.<\/p>\n
Cost increases or revisions can be made, provided the marketplace has\ninformed of the information three months before the policy takes\neffect.<\/p>\n
In doing so, micro and small entrepreneurs have a chance to prepare\nthemselves when one cost component on the platform increases.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that our brothers and sisters, micro and small entrepreneurs,\nhave a chance to prepare themselves. Don\u2019t suddenly raise it. That\u2019s\nunfortunate,\u201d said Maman.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the Regulation also governs cost components and\nincentives for UMKM. For the final rule, incentives are provided to\nthose in the SAPA UMKM system.<\/p>\n
It is not yet known when the rule named Permen Perlindungan\nPeningkatan Daya Saing will be issued. Maman only said the rule would\ntake effect immediately, with integration with SAPA UMKM to be carried\nout within a maximum of six months.<\/p>\n
In recent days, there has been talk that e-commerce would raise its\nservice costs. TikTok Shop has also done so as of Monday\n(18\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n
In the so-called \u2018Dynamic Commission Fee\u2019 within the commission, the\nincrease occurred at the cap per product transaction. While the\npercentage did not change at 4%, the cap rose to Rp 650 thousand per\nproduct unit from the previous Rp 40 thousand per product.<\/p>\n
TikTok Shop also implemented a percentage tariff increase across\nproduct categories. The largest rise occurred in the beauty and personal\ncare category and for maternity and baby products, rising to 7% from\n4%.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/e-commerce-platforms-barred-from-sudden-commission-hikes-heres-a-preview-of-the-new-rules-1779546435", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
