        "summary": "Indonesia has mandated that online marketplaces provide micro and small enterprises (UMK) with at least 90 calendar days' notice before implementing any changes to service fees. The regulation, part of a new ministerial decree aimed at protecting small businesses, also allows UMKs to formally object and request government-facilitated negotiations. The policy seeks to create a more balanced partnership between digital platforms and small traders, where current service fees reportedly range from 10 to 18 per cent.",
        "content": "<p>Marketplaces are now required to notify micro and small enterprises\n(UMK) of planned changes to service fees at least 90 calendar days\nbefore the policy takes effect, as stipulated in Minister of UMKM\nRegulation Number 3 of 2026. The regulation, concerning the Protection\nand Enhancement of UMK Competitiveness in Trade Through Electronic\nSystems (PMSE), was enacted on 17 June 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy for Small Business at the Ministry of UMKM, Temmy Satya\nPermana, stated on Monday that service fees currently charged by\nmarketplaces to business operators range from 10 to 18 per cent. Service\nfees refer to administrative fees, commission fees, or other application\nservice charges imposed on business operators for the use of the PMSE\nplatform\u2019s application, system, or basic services for each\ntransaction.<\/p>\n<p>According to Temmy, the provisions in the ministerial regulation are\nexpected to provide protection while enhancing the competitiveness of\nUMKs within the digital trade ecosystem. Under the regulation, changes\nto the type or amount of digital business partnership fees before the\nend of the agreement period can only be made based on an agreement\nbetween the electronic system trade operator (PPMSE) and the UMK.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to mandating the 90-day prior notification, the rule also\nprovides room for UMKs to file objections to the planned fee changes. If\nan objection arises, the UMK may request negotiation facilitation from\nthe Minister of UMKM through the SAPA UMKM service. This facilitation is\nconducted to reach an agreement between the UMK and the PPMSE regarding\npartnership fees. The negotiation result must then be included in the\nagreement and is binding on both parties.<\/p>\n<p>The regulation also stipulates that partnerships between UMKs and\nmarketplaces must be formalised in a written agreement based on the\nprinciples of equality, transparency, fairness, and sustainability. In\nthe agreement, the marketplace must specify the type and amount of fees\ncharged to the UMK, including the calculation mechanism, payment\nprocedures, and the rights and obligations of the parties. Marketplaces\nare prohibited from making deductions or additional charges that have\nnot been previously agreed upon. The types of fees that may be imposed\ninclude registration fees, service fees, and fees for promotions,\nadvertising, or additional services chosen by the business operator. The\ngovernment hopes this arrangement will create a more balanced\npartnership between UMKs and marketplaces and strengthen the\nsustainability of micro and small enterprises amid the development of\nnational digital trade.<\/p>",
