JAKARTA (Reuters) -Indonesia has committed to provide a list of preferred tariffs on U.S. goods before starting a second round of talks with Washington scheduled this month, its senior economy minister said on Wednesday after meeting the U.S. trade envoy.<\/p>\n
The U.S. was Indonesia’s third-biggest export destination as of last year, receiving shipments worth $26.3 billion, according to Indonesian government data. The Southeast Asian country booked a $16.8 billion trade surplus with the U.S. in 2024.<\/p>\n
Economy Minister Airlangga Hartarto said Indonesia is ready to accelerate negotiations with the U.S. before the July 3 deadline for reciprocal tariffs set by President Donald Trump in his drive to end U.S. trade deficits with countries worldwide.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration has imposed a 32% tariff on Indonesian goods but that has been paused until July along with those targeting other countries.<\/p>\n
“We are ready to continue open dialogue and overcome negotiation challenges in tariffs and non-tariff barriers, digital trade… and the issues of economic and national security,” Airlangga said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Reuters was seeking U.S. comment.<\/p>\n
Airlangga, who met U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on the sidelines of an OECD meeting in Paris, said Indonesia hopes that a “mature and measured” approach can open space for it to build a strong and long-term partnership with the U.S.<\/p>\n
As part of the negotiation, the government has said it wants to increase U.S. energy imports by about $10 billion, including purchases of U.S. fuel, crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas.<\/p>\n
Indonesia received shipments of U.S. goods worth $26.3 billion in 2024, according to government data. The main Indonesian exports to the U.S. include electronics, apparel and clothing, and footwear.<\/p>\n
