Indonesia reviews import rules after business group complaints

Indonesia is evaluating regulations designed to curb imports of more than 3,000 products, a senior trade ministry official said on Friday, following industry concerns the rules could disrupt the domestic supply chain and disrupt exports. Southeast Asia's biggest economy issued a regulation late last year to tighten monitoring for many imported goods, from food ingredients to hand tools to chemicals. Authorities said they were responding to complaints from business associations about the impact on local markets of an influx of imported goods.
