Jakarta. Indonesia said on Friday that tariffs imposed by the United States on its exports will stand at 15%, not 19% as previously agreed in bilateral trade talks in Washington.

Coordinating Economic Affairs Minister Airlangga Hartarto said the adjustment follows a decision by the US Supreme Court that invalidated the reciprocal tariff policy introduced by President Donald Trump.

“As a result, the applicable rate is the global tariff of 15%,” Airlangga told reporters in Jakarta.

During President Prabowo Subianto’s visit to Washington last week, Indonesia and the US had agreed on a 19% tariff — down from an earlier proposed 32% — before the Supreme Court ruling altered the legal basis of the policy.

Airlangga stressed that the broader trade agreement remains valid, subject to parliamentary ratification, despite the revised tariff level.

Under the agreement, Indonesia secured 0% tariff access for 1,819 product categories entering the US market. These include palm oil, coffee, cocoa, spices, rubber, electronic components — including semiconductors — and aircraft parts.

Indonesia’s textile and apparel sector will also benefit from 0% tariffs, although the measure will be implemented under a Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) mechanism, meaning duty-free access applies up to a specified volume.

The clarification provides some certainty for exporters after days of confusion following the US court ruling, which reshaped the tariff framework underpinning the bilateral deal.
