Indonesia: Indonesian Prior Notice Must Now Be Submitted Before Vessel Departs US Port with Other Requirements Beginning June 6

Multiple aspects of Indonesian Quarantine Authority (IQA) regulation number 14/2024 could impact U.S. agricultural exports to Indonesia. IQA verbally clarified that the strict enforcement phase for "Prior Notice" notifications began on February 6, 2025, meaning that U.S. exporters must submit Prior Notice notifications before agricultural product shipments depart U.S. ports. In addition, beginning June 6, 2025, IQA verbally clarified this regulation requires that phytosanitary certificates be issued no more than 21 days after the phytosanitary inspection and that the shipment departs no more than 21 days after the phytosanitary certificate is issued. This report provides Post’s understanding based on verbal and informal confirmation from IQA, which we are seeking in writing. The information and guidance provided is intended to help U.S. industry comply and is subject to change.
