Purpose

This Market Access Advice informs industry of new requirements imposed by the Indonesian Quarantine Authority (IQA) for exporters of animal and animal products, fish and fish products and plant and plant products into Indonesia.

Key points

On 4 July 2024, IQA notified the World Trade Organization (WTO) of their intention to issue a new regulation (regulation 9/2024) regarding Quarantine Documents and Seals. 

The regulation includes new requirements for exporters of animal and animal products, including non-prescribed goods containing ingredients of animal and plant origin, to submit prior notice of export to IQA. There is additional information on the portal used to apply for prior notice, including a user manual. 

English translations of the regulation can be found through the United States Department of Agriculture, Global Agricultural Information Network reports. 

The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (the department) is aware these requirements are intended to be implemented by IQA from 1 October 2024. Exporters are encouraged to work closely with their Indonesian importers to understand the requirements for product exported to Indonesia from 1 October 2024. 

The department continues to engage with Indonesian authorities as a matter of urgency to better understand the impacts of these requirements on Australian industry and will provide relevant updates once more information becomes available.

The Manual of Importing Country Requirements (Micor) will be updated to reflect this market access advice. The department encourages users of Micor to subscribe to the Micor update service for a commodity-specific email that lists changes that have been made in the preceding week. 

The department encourages exporters to contact the department via exportstandards@aff.gov.au should they be advised of issues with consignments prior to or on arrival in Indonesia relating to these requirements.

Further information

Please refer any questions on implementation of these new requirements to the department via exportstandards@aff.gov.au.

The information provided in this advice is current at the time of writing and is intended for use as guidance only and should not be taken as definitive or exhaustive. The Commonwealth endeavours to keep information current and accurate, however, it may be subject to change without notice. Exporters are encouraged to verify these details with their importers prior to undertaking production/exports.
