On October 27, 2022, FAS Jakarta published a report summarizing the Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health Service’s (DGLAHS)’s new requirements for importers to register fresh food of animal origin and obtain the resulting distribution license. Since DGLAHS has recently begun to enforce these requirements, importers are now asking U.S. exporters to provide a certificate of analysis (CoA) for at least one of the required testing parameters every six months. This report is based on our assessment of information gathered from DGLAHS and local industry to help U.S. exporters comply with the CoA requirements. U.S. exporters should endeavor to meet this requirement as soon as possible to avoid jeopardizing their sales to Indonesia. Since these requirements primarily impact U.S. beef exports, this report is focused accordingly. Please note that this guidance is based on information gathered informally and may be subject to change.
