Purbaya Imposes Antidumping Import Duty on Carton Paper from Three Countries

Jakarta - Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa will impose antidumping import duties on duplex carton paper products originating from South Korea, Malaysia, and Taiwan. This rule is set out in Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 40 of 2026. The policy will take effect from 25 June 2026 until 2031. The regulation was issued following the findings of an investigation by the Indonesian Antidumping Committee, which uncovered evidence of dumping on imports of duplex carton paper products from the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, and Taiwan. This activity has caused injury to the domestic industry, and a causal link was found between the dumping and the injury suffered by the domestic industry. “Whereas, in accordance with the results of the investigation by the Indonesian Antidumping Committee, evidence of dumping has been found on imports of duplex carton paper products originating from the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, and Taiwan, thereby causing injury to the domestic industry,” the regulation’s considerations state. Antidumping import duty is a state levy imposed on dumped goods that cause injury. In this context, the imposition of this antidumping import duty is in addition to the general import duty (most favoured nation) or preferential import duty based on international agreements or treaties that have already been imposed. The imposition of this antidumping import duty applies to imports of duplex carton paper products described as multi-layered carton paper, weighing from 210 to 450 grams per square metre, with a predominantly white top surface and a grey back surface, falling under tariff headings ex4810.32.90 and ex4810.92.90, originating from the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, and Taiwan. This antidumping import duty is calculated based on the formula: antidumping import duty rate per unit of goods in a specified currency unit x number of units of goods x currency exchange rate.
