Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — The United States will officially impose a 19% import tariff on goods from Indonesia beginning August 7, 2025, six days later than the initially scheduled date of August 1.

The new tariff is part of a sweeping trade measure announced by President Donald Trump, who signed an executive order on Thursday (July 31, 2025), targeting imports from 92 countries, including several in Southeast Asia.

Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, confirmed the timeline and emphasized that, despite the new duty, Indonesia fared relatively better than most ASEAN neighbors.

“As we know, Indonesia has completed its tariff negotiations, and the 19% rate will officially apply starting August 7,” Airlangga said Friday during a press briefing at his office in Central Jakarta.

Among ASEAN nations, Singapore received the lowest U.S. tariff at 10%, while Laos and Myanmar were hit with the steepest rates at 40%. The full tariff list for ASEAN country, as reported by Kompas, is as follows:

  • Laos: 40%
  • Myanmar: 40%
  • Brunei Darussalam: 25%
  • Vietnam: 20%
  • Indonesia: 19%
  • Cambodia: 19%
  • Malaysia: 19%
  • Philippines: 19%
  • Thailand: 19%
  • Singapore: 10%

Despite receiving a comparatively lower tariff rate, Indonesian officials stressed the need to boost competitiveness and develop more globally attractive products.

Airlangga added that the government is still pursuing further negotiations, particularly for key commodities in the natural resource sector, in hopes of securing exemptions from the new duties.

He noted that Copper is one of the commodities with strong potential for exemption, especially since it is part of the ongoing discussions around critical minerals.

Earlier, Secretary of the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Susiwijono Moegiarso states that there is still room for further negotiations with the U.S. even after the 19% rate has been finalized.

“President Prabowo conveyed that the reciprocal tariff set by President Trump is now final at 19%. But there’s still an opportunity to negotiate further, especially for products the U.S. urgently needs and cannot produce domestically,” Susiwijono said Friday (July 18), as reported by Antara.

He highlighted several Indonesian commodities that are highly sought after in the U.S. market due to their reliability and the U.S.’s limited production capacity in those sectors.
