Organic Chemicals Import of Indonesia: The Trade Analysis of 2024

Indonesia based in Southeast Asia and the largest archipelago of the world, consisting of more than 17,000 islands, has recorded itself as the leading importer of organic chemicals in the international trade market. The strong industrial demand for organic chemicals, especially in textiles, automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, is fueled by the overall import of organic chemicals from foreign authorities. The insufficient local production capacity of specialty chemicals due to the limited domestic refining strategies has been pivotal for the increase in revenue.

The rising use of pharmaceuticals and agrochemical manufacturing is due to the lack of industrial consumption of the domestic output, whereas the foreign investment in infrastructure projects has contributed to the higher import of organic chemicals. The post-pandemic realignment of global supply chains has prompted Indonesia to diversify its strategies regarding the import of organic chemicals. The increase in volumes has led to fluctuations in the trade stability, with an annual import trade value of organic chemicals worth 14 billion US dollars in 2024.

POLICY REFORMS BY THE GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES SUPPORTING THE IMPORT OF ORGANIC CHEMICALS IN INDONESIA BY 2024

The easing of import licensing and inspection requirements implemented by the government authorities has restored the reliable access to essential industrial outputs for the sectors that are reliant on organic chemicals, thereby increasing the import revenue rate. The import duty exemptions for manufacturing inputs have granted value-added tax deferment for machinery and intermediate goods, including organic chemicals.

The strategic fiscal incentives for pioneering industries have introduced tax allowances and super deductions for R&D and vocational training activities. This has incentivized the import of key inputs for large-scale investments. The government authorities have been operating in special economic zones and industrial parks. The Provincial Customs Treatment has led to subsidized imports of specific necessities with reduced cost for imported organic chemicals.
