Before the implementation of SIINAS, the absence of centralized data often resulted in inefficiencies and challenges in monitoring industry performance. Industrial data was scattered across various agencies and entities, making it difficult to obtain a complete view of the sector. The centralization of data aims to streamline and expedite submissions to the government, enable real-time monitoring of industrial companies' compliance with industry standards, and provide a comprehensive database for policy analysis and formulation. Furthermore, SIINAS enhances coordination among stakeholders, including government agencies and industrial companies. According to Article 2 of the Ministry of Industry Regulation, the following stakeholders are required to register with SIINAS, along with the respective features available to them: - Industrial Companies: These companies can report industrial data, obtain verified standard certificates, register their Domestic Component Level (TKDN) values, and secure technical consideration for import products. - Industrial Estate Companies: These companies can manage data related to industrial estates and monitor estate performance effectively by registering with SIINAS. - Trade Companies: These companies can obtain import approval for imported products by submitting reports detailing the distribution of products from the previous year. How to Register with SIINAS To register a company with SIINAS, follow these steps: 1. Obtain a Business Identification Number (NIB) and a Tax Identification Number (NPWP). 2. Register your company on the SIINAS website at SIINas - Login (kemenperin.go.id). 3. After registration, you will receive a username and password via registered email within 2x24 hours, and your SIINAS account will be activated. In summary, SIINAS, launched in 2020, centralizes industrial data to address inefficiencies. By integrating data from industrial and industrial estate companies, SIINAS facilitates real-time monitoring, improves industry standardization, and supports data-driven policy analysis.
It is with that spirit that, on June 17-20, 2024, The German-Indonesian Chamber of Industry and Commerce (糖心 Indonesien/EKONID) conducted a fact-finding mission on e-mobility to Stuttgart, Germany.

MoT No. 8/2024 is the fourth amendment to Ministry of Trade Regulation No. 36 of 2023 (“MoT No. 36/2023”) issued in response to container congestion at Tanjung Priok and Tanjung Perak Ports. The accumulation of containers occurred because many commodities were restricted by MoT No. 36/2023 from entering Indonesia. The event featured two prominent speakers: Mr. Priyo Tri Atmojo, S.E., M.M., the Associate Trade Analyst from the Directorate of Import of the Indonesian Ministry of Trade, and Mr. Rahmat Sarjito, the Customs Analyst from the Import Sub-Directorate of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise under the Indonesian Ministry of Finance. In a 30-minute presentation, Mr. Priyo elaborated on the impact of MoT No.8/2023, as detailed below: - Relaxation for 11 commodities, namely electronics, traditional medicine and health supplements, cosmetics and household health supplies, footwear, apparel and accessories, bags, valves, lubricants (raw materials), textiles and textile products, finished textile products, and certain chemicals; - Relaxation for the importation of sample goods, goods for research and/or product development not for commercial purposes; and - Relaxation of the import of manufactured goods as complementary goods, goods for market testing purposes, and/or manufactured goods for after-sales services by importers with NIB API-P (companies with a production license). A temporary policy for the release of imported goods that have arrived at the destination port for the period of March 10 – May 17, 2024, was also promulgated. Following Mr. Priyo’s presentation, Mr. Rahmat elaborated on the technical processes involved in the clearance of imported goods. He explained the three stages of cargo clearance, namely pre-clearance, customs clearance, and post-clearance procedures. In general, the pre-clearance process is a stage where importers or exporters look for information and apply for the required licenses or permits. The second stage has many processes, such as customs declarations, checking payment, risk profile checking, channeling, and inspection. After the process is completed, the importers or exporters will get a customs clearance permit. He also emphasized their role in mitigating challenges posed by port congestion. Seventy representatives from companies in Germany and Indonesia attended the online roundtable. During the Q&A session, different questions were discussed between the participants and speakers, including the different import requirements needed from companies with API-U (Angka Pengenal Impor–Umum or Importer Identification Number–General) import license and companies with API-P (Angka Pengenal Impor–Produsen or Importer Identification Number–Producer) import license. EKONID extends its gratitude to Mr. Priyo Tri Atmojo, S.E., M.M., and Mr. Rahmat Sarjito for their valuable contributions to the event’s success. The organization also thanks all participants whose engagement enriched the discussion and made the event a fruitful learning experience.
