Sri Mulyani Releases 13 Containers Held at Tanjung Priok Due to Import Tightening

BUSINESS AND TRADE - JAKARTA. The Indonesian government has officially relaxed its policy on import restrictions to address import licensing issues and container congestion at several ports.

This move comes as a result of the implementation of the Ministry of Trade Regulation Number 36 of 2023, which has been in effect since March 10, 2024. This tightening of regulations has resulted in the detention of at least 17,304 containers at the Port of Tanjung Priok and 9,111 containers at Tanjung Perak.
