        "content": "<p>The Indonesian government continues to negotiate with the United\nStates regarding import tariff policies that will be applied to national\nexport products. The Minister of Trade, Budi Santoso, emphasised that\nthe tariff rates currently proposed by the United States Trade\nRepresentative (USTR) are still dynamic and have not reached a final\ndecision.<\/p>\n<p>According to Budi, the Indonesian government is maintaining intensive\ncommunication with the US government to obtain a more competitive and\nadvantageous tariff scheme for Indonesian export products in the\nAmerican market. \u201cIt is still a proposal from America, which remains\ndynamic, and the Indonesian government is continuously approaching the\nUS to secure better tariffs,\u201d B Satoso stated at the Ministry of Trade\nOffice in Jakarta on Monday (8\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>This statement signals that the negotiation space between the two\nnations remains open, meaning the tariff structure implemented could\npotentially undergo changes before being officially decided by the US\ngovernment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>US Reciprocal Tariffs Replaced by New Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Budi explained that the previous US reciprocal tariff policy was\ncancelled following a US Supreme Court ruling. As a transitional\nmeasure, the US government has implemented a general tariff of 10 per\ncent on all its trading partner nations. This temporary tariff is\neffective for 150 days and is set to expire on 24 July 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Following the end of this transition period, the US government plans\nto implement a new policy based on the results of trade investigations\nconducted under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. These\ninvestigations focus on several issues, including allegations of forced\nlabour practices and perceived structural excess manufacturing capacity\nin various countries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indonesia Included in Group with Lowest Proposed\nTariffs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On 2 June 2026, the USTR released the preliminary results of its\ninvestigation, proposing new import tariffs for 60 countries under\ninvestigation. The investigation results proposed two tariff groups:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>A 10 per cent tariff for 14 countries<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>A 12.5 per cent tariff for the remaining 46 countries<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Indonesia is included in the group proposed to face a 10 per cent\ntariff, alongside several other nations such as Canada, Ecuador, the\nEuropean Union, Mexico, Pakistan, Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, El\nSalvador, Guatemala, Malaysia, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.<\/p>",
