2. Each Party shall ensure the transparency of its non-tariff measures permitted in paragraph 1 in accordance with Articles 19.2 (Publication) and 19.3 (Provision of Information) of Chapter 19 (Transparency) and shall ensure that any such measures are not prepared, adopted or applied with the view to, or with the effect of, creating unnecessary obstacles in trade with the other Party. Any new measure or modification to an existing measure shall be duly notified to the other Party as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than the day the measure takes effect.

3, Each Party shall ensure that its laws, regulations, procedures and administrative rulings relating to non-tariff measures are promptly published, including on the internet where feasible, or otherwise made available in such a manner as to enable the other Party to become acquainted with them.

Article 3.2. Mechanism on Non-Tariff Measures

1. If a Party considers that a non-tariff measure of the other Party is an unnecessary obstacle to trade, that Party may nominate such a non-tariff measure for review by the Committee on Trade in Goods by notifying the other Party at least 30 days before the date of the next scheduled meeting of the Committee. A nomination of a non-tariff measure for review shall include reasons for its nomination and, if possible, suggested solutions.

2. Within 360 days of the date of entry into force of this Agreement, the Committee on Trade in Goods shall establish procedures for review of non-tariff measures nominated by either Party. Such review shall include consideration of the commercial significance of the trade impacted by the non-tariff measure, any progress achieved elsewhere, and whether less trade-restrictive alternatives exist. The Parties acknowledge that some non-tariff measures are imposed for legitimate reasons.

3. The Committee on Trade in Goods shall be supported in its review of non-tariff measures by the Sub-Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Matters, Sub-Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade, Sub-Committee on Trade Facilitation and other relevant technical bodies, as appropriate, in accordance with this Agreement.

4. Once it has reviewed the non-tariff measures, the Committee on Trade in Goods shall provide advice to the Joint Committee on any non-tariff measures that should receive priority consideration by the Joint Committee and provide guidance, if possible, on solutions.

5. In accordance with Chapter 15 (Economic Cooperation), the Committee on Trade in Goods shall take into account opportunities relating to non-tariff measures, including capacity building and institutional strengthening programs in its recommendations on possible economic cooperation activities to the Committee on Economic Cooperation.

6. Under certain circumstances, each Party may establish a special contact point to liaise with relevant entities of the other Party in relation to specific non-tariff measures affecting trade between the Parties.

7. Chapter 20 (Consultations and Dispute Settlement) shall not apply to the mechanism under this Article. This Article shall not prejudice the rights of the Parties under Chapter 20 (Consultations and Dispute Settlement) regarding any other provision in this Agreement. This Article shall not affect the interpretation of any other provision in this Agreement.

Article 3.3. Quantitative Restrictions

Unless otherwise provided, neither Party shall adopt or maintain any prohibition or restriction on the importation of any good of the other Party or on the exportation of any good destined for the territory of the other Party, except in accordance with its WTO rights and obligations or this Agreement. To this end, Article XI of GATT 1994 shall be incorporated into and made part of this Agreement mutatis mutandis.

Article 3.4. Import Licensing

1. Each Party shall ensure that all import licensing measures are implemented in a transparent and predictable manner, and applied in accordance with the Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures in Annex 1A to the WTO Agreement ("Import Licensing Agreement") (1).

2. After the date of entry into force of this Agreement, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of existing import licensing procedures. Thereafter, each Party shall notify any new import licensing procedures and any modification to its existing import licensing procedures, to the extent possible 60 days before it takes effect, but in any case no later than the effective date of the licensing requirement. The information in any notification under this Article shall be in accordance with Articles 5.2 and 5.3 of the Import Licensing Agreement.

3. On request of the other Party, a Party shall respond to the request of that Party for information on import licensing requirements of general application within 60 days of receiving the request.

4. A Party shall be deemed to be in compliance with the obligations in paragraph 2 with respect to an import licensing procedure if:

(a) with respect to any new or modified import licensing procedure, it has notified that procedure to the WTO Committee on Import Licensing provided for in Article 4 of the Import Licensing Agreement in accordance with Articles 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of that Agreement; or

(b) with respect to any existing import licensing procedure, in that Party's most recent annual submission, due before the date of entry into force of this Agreement, to the WTO Committee on Import Licensing in response to the annual questionnaire on import licensing procedures described in Article 7.3 of the Import Licensing Agreement, it has provided, with respect to that procedure, the information requested in that questionnaire.

(1) In accordance with the WTO Agreements, for live female cattle (HS 0102.29.90), frozen beef (HS 0202.20.00) and sheep meat (HS 0204.41.00; 0204.42.00; 0204.43.00; 0204.50.00), Indonesia shall issue import permits, or equivalent instruments used for import authorisation, automatically and without seasonality.

Article 4.5. Calculation of Qualifying Value Content

For the purposes of Article 4.4, the formula for calculating the qualifying value content (QVC) will be either:

Direct Formula (Build-up Method)

C= IA-CEPA material cost + labour cost + overhead costs + profit + other costs x 100
                                       Adjusted Value

or 

Indirect Formula (Build-down Method)

QVC= Adjusted Value − Value of Non-Originating Materials x 100
                           Adjusted Value

where:

QVC is the qualifying value content, expressed as a percentage;

IA-CEPA material cost is the value of originating materials, parts or produce that are acquired or self-produced by the producer in the production of the good;

labour costs are wages, remuneration and other employee benefits associated with the production of the goods;

overhead costs are the cost of the following, to the extent that the cost can be attributed to the production of the goods:

(i) inspection and testing of materials and goods;

(ii) insurance of plant, equipment and materials;

(iii) dies, moulds and tooling;

(iv) depreciation, maintenance and repair of plant and equipment;

(v) interest payments for plant and equipment;

(vi) research, development, design and engineering;

(xii) security within the place in which the production of the goods occurs.

profit is an amount equivalent to the profit added in the normal course of trade, or equal to the profit that is usually reflected in the sale of goods of the same class or kind as the self-produced material that is being valued.

other costs are costs incurred in placing the goods in a ship or other means of transport for exportation and includes transport costs, storage and warehousing costs, port handling fees, brokerage fees and service charges.

value of non-originating materials is the value of the non-originating materials that are acquired and used in the production of the goods, but does not include, as applicable:

(i) the value of a material that is self-produced;

(ii) the costs of freight, insurance, packing and all other costs incurred to transport the material to the location of the producer of the good;

(iii) duties, taxes and customs brokerage fees on the material, paid in the territory of one or both of the Parties, other than duties and taxes that are waived, refunded, refundable or otherwise recoverable, which include credit against duty or tax paid or payable;

(iv) the cost of waste and spoilage resulting from the use of the material in the production of the good, less the value of reusable scrap or by- product;

(v) the cost of processing incurred in the territory of one or both of the Parties in the production of the non-originating material; and

Article 4.8. Minimal Operations and Processes

Where a claim for origin is based solely on a QVC, the operations or processes listed below, undertaken by themselves or in combination with each other, are considered to be minimal and shall not be taken into account in determining whether or not a good is originating:

(a) ensuring preservation of goods in good condition for the purposes of transport or storage;

(b) facilitating shipment or transportation;
(c) packaging or presenting goods for transportation or sale;

(d) simple processes, consisting of sifting, classifying, washing, and other similar operations;

(e) affixing of marks, labels or other like distinguishing signs on products or their packaging; and

(f) mere dilution with water or another substance that does not materially alter the characteristics of the goods.

Article 4.9. De Minimis

1. A good that does not satisfy a change in tariff classification requirement in accordance with Article 4.4 will nonetheless be an originating good if:

Article 4.10. Accessories, Spare Parts, Tools and Instructional or other Information Materials

The origin of the accessories, spare parts, tools and Instructional or Other Information Materials presented and classified with a good and delivered with the good at the time of importation:

(a)  shall be disregarded if the good is subject to a change in tariff classification requirement; and

(b) shall be taken into account as originating or non-originating materials, as the case may be, in calculating the QVC of the good, if the good is subject to a QVC requirement, provided that:

(c) the accessories, spare parts, tools and Instructional or Other Information Materials are not invoiced separately from the good and are included in the price of the good, regardless of whether they appear specified or separately identified in the invoice itself; and

(d) the quantities and value of the accessories, spare parts or tools are customary for the good.

Article 4.11. Identical and Interchangeable Materials

1. The determination of whether identical and interchangeable materials are originating shall be made either by physical segregation of each of the materials, or by the use of generally accepted accounting principles of stock control or inventory management practice applicable in the exporting Party.

2. The inventory management method used under paragraph 1 for particular identical

and interchangeable materials shall continue to be used for that material throughout the fiscal year.

Article 4.12. Packaging Materials and Containers for Retail Sale

1. Packaging materials and containers in which a good is packaged for retail sale shall, if classified with the good, be disregarded in determining whether all the non- originating materials used in the production of the good undergo the applicable change in tariff classification or a specific manufacturing or processing operation, set out in Annex 4-C.

2. If a good is subject to a QVC requirement, the value of packaging materials and containers described in paragraph 1 shall be taken into account as originating or non- originating materials, as the case may be, in calculating the QVC of the good.

Article 4.13. Packing Materials and Containers for Transportation and Shipment

1. Packing materials and containers for transportation and shipment shall not be taken into account when determining whether a good is an originating good.
