Jakarta. Indonesia will eliminate import tariffs on nearly all US-origin goods as part of its latest trade agreement with the United States, but certain products such as alcoholic beverages and pork will remain subject to duties, a senior government official confirmed on Friday.

According to Susiwijono Moegiarso, Secretary of the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Indonesian ministries are finalizing classifications of US products that will not be included in the zero-tariff list.

“There are several product categories we are still reviewing that will not receive zero-tariff treatment,” Susiwijono told reporters in Jakarta.

Of the 11,552 tariff lines under Indonesia’s harmonized system (HS), approximately 11,474 have been agreed upon for tariff elimination. This means around 99 percent of US products will enter Indonesia duty-free, while the remaining 1 percent is still under consideration for continued tariffs.

Susiwijono stressed that this policy is not unique to US trade. Similar treatment has been extended to other partner countries under various free trade agreements (FTAs) Indonesia is party to, such as the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA), the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Area (AANZFTA), and the Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA).

“Under ATIGA, for example, 99 percent of products traded among ASEAN countries already enjoy zero-percent tariffs. This is part of a broader global trend,” he noted.

Indonesia recently finalized a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the European Union, securing zero-percent tariffs on nearly all Indonesian exports to Europe.

At the same time, Indonesian authorities are working to ensure that key national export commodities -- including crude palm oil (CPO), nickel, coffee, and cocoa -- can enter the US market without high tariffs. These products, which are not produced in the US, remain a central focus in ongoing negotiations.

“We are still reviewing and categorizing these product groups. The complete list is still being finalized,” Susiwijono said.
