Polyester yarn exported to Indonesia was returned for surprising reasons

A few days ago, a company in Keqiao District exported 2.55 tons of FDY polyester yarn to Indonesia, but was intercepted and returned by Indonesian customs. “We have been doing this kind of export trade for many years, and we never thought we would be returned.” The person in charge of the international trade department of this company was quite puzzled by this return.
After learning from many sources, he was surprised to find that the reason for the return was that the importer of his product was not included in Indonesia’s list of allowed imports. “We have been maintaining trade relations with this importer, and no one is clear about this new policy.” Only after the product was returned, the person in charge realized the seriousness of not understanding the changes in the exporting country’s new policy in a timely manner.
After accepting this batch of textiles returned from Indonesia, the Keqiao Office of Shaoxing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau immediately investigated the return shipments of the companies exporting to Indonesia, and found that there were many companies in Keqiao District that had suffered the same return situation. “The returned shipments were not due to product quality issues, but because they were ‘unclear’ about Indonesia’s new restrictive policies.” said the person in charge of the Keqiao Office of Shaoxing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau.
According to reports, since 2015, the Indonesian government has revised the relevant import regulations many times, which divides imported products into three categories: free import products, restricted import products and prohibited import products. Importers must wait until the imported products arrive in Indonesia. Apply for relevant import licenses beforehand.
“That is to say, importers are required to be included in the local government’s allowed import list, otherwise the imported goods cannot be cleared in the country.” The Keqiao Office of the Shaoxing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau reminded relevant export companies to learn about Indonesia’s new restriction policy as soon as possible, and requested The importer shall register as soon as possible. At the same time, attention should be paid to adding relevant clauses when signing the contract to avoid losses.
