Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), thousands of tons of imported clothing enter Indonesia every month.

These imports are recorded with Harmonized System codes (HS) 61 (knitted garments and accessories) and HS 62 (non-knitted garments and accessories).

During the period January 2020-April 2024, the average monthly volume of imported clothing with HS code 61 reached 2,230 tons.

In the same period, the average monthly volume of imported clothing with HS code 62 was 2,050 tons.

Broken down by month, the flow of imported clothing was higher in 2020-2021 and lower in 2022-2024.

Imports of clothing with HS codes 61 and 62 were highest in January 2020 and lowest in April 2024, as shown in the graph.

The Indonesian Textile Association (API) is now urging the Ministry of Trade to revoke regulations that facilitate imports, particularly Trade Minister Regulation Number 8 of 2024.

According to API, this regulation removes technical consideration requirements (pertek) for several products, allowing imported clothing to enter Indonesia more freely.

"Before the pertek was removed, any imported ready-to-wear clothing without a brand and not in Indonesian could not enter," said API Deputy Chairman David Leonardi to Katadata on Monday (June 17, 2024).

"If this continues, the [local] textile industry will go bankrupt. Our country will become a trading nation, not a producer," he added.
