INDONESIA – IMPORTATION OF HORTICULTURAL PRODUCTS,  
ANIMALS AND ANIMAL PRODUCTS  
STATUS REPORT REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF  
THE DSB RECOMMENDATIONS AND RULINGS  
BY INDONESIA  
Addendum  
The following communication, dated 17 July  2023, from the delegation of Indonesia to the 
Chairperson of the Dispute Settlement Body, is circulated pursuant to Article  21.6 of the DSU.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Indonesia provides a status report in these disputes in accordance with Article 21.6 of the DSU.  
 
In the effort to bring its measures into compliance with the DSB's rulings and recommendations, on 
31 March 2023, Indonesia passed Law No. 6/2023 on the Stipulation of the Government Regulation 
in lieu of Law No . 2/2022 on Job Creation to reinforce the revocation of measure on self -sufficiency.  
 
Furthermore, Indonesia also reiterates that relevant and significant amendments have been taken 
into effect to the Minister of Agriculture and Minister of Trade Regulati ons administering measures 
1-17, resulting in the removal of measures at issue, including harvest period restriction, import 
realization requirement, six -month harvest requirement, reference price, and domestic purchase 
requirement.  
 
Referring to its previous statement, Indonesia would again like to highlight that Commodity Balance 
would serve as a tool mechanism to provide comprehensive, accurate, and reliable data through an 
integrated national database system. We truly believe that this mechanism is  part of Indonesia's 
effort to enhance the ease of doing business, streamline import approval procedures, and facilitate 
trade in transparent manner.  
 
Indonesia remains ready to engage with New Zealand and the United States with the aim of reaching 
amicabl e solutions for these disputes.
