2003年6月WTO对印度尼西亚贸易政策审议-中国政府的问题和评论(英文)
WTO Trade Policy Review of Indonesia
Comments and Questions from China
June 27-30, 2003
III. TRADE POLICIES AND PRACTICES BY MEASURE
P. 34-39（para.19-32）
1. As noted in the Secretariat’s report that the average applied MFN tariff of Indonesia was 7.2% in2002, down from 9.5% in 1998 and the dispersion in applied MFN tariff rates has fallen since 1998 with tariff "spikes" and the standard deviation in tariff rates all declining. However, in 2002, imports of 23 nine-digit HS96 items carried the highest ad valorem tariff of 170% and three items were subject to the second highest rate of 90%, both of which affect alcoholic drinks/preparations. And during 2002, the authorities considered raising applied rates on strategic commodities such as rice, wheat, soya beans, and fruit, as well as electronics, but it is unclear whether they did so.
1) Could Indonesia confirm whether these tariff rates have been raised?
2) Is Indonesia considering further reduction of the existing tariff “spikes”?
2. The tariff also embodies a degree of escalation, which has become more pronounced for semi-processed food, beverages and tobacco products as well as for paper, printing, and publishing. As far as it is known to China, Indonesia imposes the similar tariff escalation on motor bicycles: a rate of 5-10% for SKD, 25% for CKD，35% for motor bicycle with a cylinder capacity under 250cc and 60% for that with a cylinder capacity ranging from 250cc to 500cc. China is concerned over the practice.
P. 44-45 (para.39-43)
3. Import Restriction
The Secretariat’s reports states that the product coverage of restrictive licensing requirements has been gradually reduced since the previous Review, to 141 tariff lines in 2002 from 160 in 1998. Import restrictions and special licensing requirements seem to have been imposed or maintained, inter alia, on meat and poultry products, alcoholic beverages, artificial sweeteners, lube oil, engines and tractors. Since March 2002, special import licences have affected sensitive items such as rice, corn, soya beans, sugar, textiles, textile products, footwear, electronics, and toys.
China would like to have Indonesia’s idea for those practices.
P. 33-34 (i) registration and documentation
4、Indonesia has fully transferred the responsibility for customs administration from pre-shipment inspection firms back to the Directorate General of Customs and Excise in 1997. Are there any other changes in the process and requirements of inspection accompanying the transfer of administrative responsibility?
P. 43-44 (para.36-37)
5. Customs Valuation
In September 2001, the authorities notified the WTO of the Government Regulation on Customs Valuation for the Calculation of Import Duties. However, China fails to get the regulation from the WTO, hence, China would like to ask Indonesia to explain how it implement the customs valuation for food and motor bicycles?
IV．TRADE POLICIES AND PRACTICES BY SECTORS
P. 85 (para.67）
6. According to the report by the Secretariat, trade barriers remain in many service sectors. However, it is a positive sign that IMF-sponsored policy reforms help to relax certain trade restrictions. It is noted that Indonesia's other GATS commitments, including computer and related services, other business services (e.g. architecture), professional services (e.g. engineering), construction and related engineering services, do not in general cover cross-border supply, consumption abroad, and presence of natural persons. Supply of these services by commercial presence is limited to joint operations/ventures involving a representative Indonesian office/Indonesian partner.
1) Does Indonesia plan to liberalize its market of business service and professional service?
2) Indonesia implements the Economic Needs Test. However, China is concerned that this would constitute restrictions for employment of foreign labor. Would Indonesia consider abolishing this requirement?
