The additional import duty was imposed because the presence of imported clothing was considered a threat to the development of the local industry, as the result of an investigation by the Indonesian Trade Safeguard Committee (KPPI)

The investigation was carried out at the request of the Indonesian Textile Association (API) representing 278 domestic companies with total production reaching 54.86% of the total national production.
They considered that the presence of imported clothing coming from various countries had reduced the number of sales and domestic production.
Exception
However, not all imports of clothing products and accessories will be subject to safeguard measure import duty (BMTP).
Because the government provides an exception for the import of headwear and neckwear products from 122 countries.
To avoid being subject to additional import duties on the import of these goods, the importer must submit a Certificate of Origin
