The United States (US) is one of Indonesia's main trading partners.
Over the past decade, Indonesia has exported significantly more to the US than it has imported.
According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Indonesia's exports to the US during the 2014-2024 period ranged from US$16 billion to US$28 billion per year.
Imports fluctuated between US$7 billion and US$11 billion per year, as detailed in the graph.
This larger export value compared to imports has resulted in Indonesia consistently achieving a trade surplus with the US.
Over the last decade, Indonesian exports to the US have also grown faster than imports.
Between 2014 and 2024, Indonesia's exports to the US increased by approximately 59%, while imports grew by 46%.
However, this trend may change this year, as starting in April 2025, US President Donald Trump imposed high import tariffs on Indonesian products sold in the US market.
Trump implemented this policy because Indonesia was deemed to have imposed significant trade barriers on US products.
In response to Trump's policy, the Indonesian government now plans to eliminate import quota restrictions.
