Illustration - The type or quantity of goods brought or shipped back by Indonesian migrant workers are still subject to taxes depending on the value of the products. JAKARTA: Indonesia has rolled back tough curbs on foreign goods brought in or sent back from abroad by its migrant workers amid public criticism, less than two months after the measures took effect.
The rollback is aimed at offering convenience and fair solutions for those seeking to send goods to their families back home, Indonesia’s Ministry of Trade stated in a press release. The tough import measures were aimed at preventing the commercialisation of goods brought into the country and to ensure that items purchased overseas are strictly for personal use, according to Indonesian authorities.
"They laboured for years, saving money to purchase necessities for their families, only to witness these goods languish in warehouses, ultimately succumbing to damage," said Mr Benny as reported by CNN Indonesia.
