Where can market information and data on Indonesia be found?
Businesses may independently look up information on the Indonesian market through the following available and free tools:
Trade Map - ITC's Trade Map (trademap.org): a tool for looking up each country's trade data, thereby helping identify major export and import products, competitors, and import-export trends over time. Trade Map provides data on imports, exports, and tariffs for each product of each country with each trading partner. Through Trade Map, users can learn about the export strengths and import demand of each trading partner and current competitors. Trade Map provides data by year, by HS code at the 2-, 4-, or 6-digit level, and by value or percentage. Users can extract information in the form of tables, charts, or maps, and filter the data by product, country, product group, or country group.
MacMap - ITC's Market Access Map (macmap.org): a tool for looking up tariff and non-tariff barriers applied to a specific product exported from one market to another. Specifically, regarding tariffs, MacMap provides WTO Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) rates, unilateral preferential tariffs such as GSP, and preferential tariffs under bilateral and multilateral agreements such as tariffs under free trade agreements. Regarding non-tariff barriers, MacMap includes import quota regulations, trade remedy measures, certification requirements, and other non-tariff barriers.
Rule of Origin Facilitator - ITC's rules of origin lookup tool (findrulesoforigin.org): this tool allows users to access a database of rules of origin under more than 350 trade agreements covering over 190 countries worldwide. Combined with tariff databases under FTAs, this is a useful tool that helps businesses understand rules of origin in order to benefit from preferences under trade agreements, thereby taking advantage of the trade opportunities created by FTAs.
Tariff Analysis Online (TAO) - WTO's online tariff analysis tool (tao.wto.org): a tool for looking up the tariff rates, including MFN, GSP, and FTA rates, that a country applies to a specific product. TAO provides detailed tariff information down to the tariff-line level under each country's HS system, as well as information on average tariffs by product group.
The World Bank's World Development Indicators (WDI)
(https://databank.worldbank.org/source/world-development-indicators): WDI includes more than 1,400 development indicators, including GDP, population, labor, inflation, and exchange rates, covering 217 economies and more than 40 country groups over a period of more than 50 years. This is a highly useful source of information for businesses seeking an overview of the economic situation, population, inflation, unemployment, trade, investment, and other indicators of countries around the world, or for comparing countries with one another.
Indonesia National Trade Repository (https://www.insw.go.id/intr): businesses may look up HS codes, import tariff rates, requirements relating to licensing, quarantine, Halal certification, and other sector-specific regulations. This is an important tool that helps enterprises prepare compliant documentation and minimize risks during customs clearance in Indonesia.
