Jokowi: New Lartas Trimmed So 2,200 From 5,000, Still Most

The President asked that the lartas be removed or reduced.

Previously, the government plans to reduce the commodities into the category of lartas starting Thursday (1/2), in order to simplify the import trade system. Director of Customs Technical Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) Ministry of Finance R. Fadjar Donny Tjahjadi said the reduction of lartas is done by shifting the supervision of a number of imported goods from the customs area outside the customs area or post border. Of 5,229 imported goods with HS code, about 3,000 of them will be transferred to post border.
