Minister of Trade Regulation No. 50/M-DAG/PER/7/2015, dated July 9, 2015,
regarding the Revocation of Minister of Industry and Trade Decree No. 141/MPP/ KEP/3/2002 regarding Special Importer Identification Number (Nomor Pengenal Importir Khusus or “NPIK”), as amended by Minister of Trade Regulation No. 07/M-DAG/ PER/3/2008 and its Implementing Regulation. One of the considerations behind the issuance of this Regulation is that the NPIK is considered to be no longer relevant as a licensing instrument in the import sector. Under this Regulation, NPIKs issued pursuant to Minister of Industry and Trade Decree No. 141/MPP/KEP/3/2002 as amended by Minister of Trade Regulation No. 07/M-DAG/PER/3/2008 are revoked and no longer valid. This Regulation came into effect on the date of its enactment.
Minister of Transportation Regulation No. 117 of 2015, dated August 13, 2015,
regarding the Movement of Goods that Exceed the Stockpiling Time Limit (Long Stay) at Tanjung Priok Port. This Regulation repeals Minister of Transportation Decree No. KP 807 of 2014 regarding the same. The stated aim of the Regulation is to improve the flow of goods at Tanjung Priok Port by maintaining a maximum 65% Yard Occupancy Ratio (“YOR”). This Regulation governs, among other things, the maximum three-day limit for goods owners to stockpile their goods in Line 1 of the Stockpile Yard (inside the port). If the time limit is exceeded, the goods owner shall remove the goods to the stockpiling yard outside the port. In the event that the YOR exceeds 65%, the Port Authority of Tanjung Priok may remove goods from the stockpiling yard inside the port to the stockpiling yard outside the port even if the goods have been stockpiled for less than three days. This Regulation came into effect on the date of its enactment.
