IDIndonesia's processed tuna and skipjack tuna products will enjoy a 0% preferential tariff under the Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) starting August 1, 2026. This comes after the ratification of the IJEPA Amendment Protocol via Presidential Regulation No. 32 of 2026. Previously, these products faced a 9.6% most-favored-nation (MFN) tariff. The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries has selected 11 Fish Processing Units (UPI)/exporters to benefit from the tariff reduction following administrative and technical verification. In 2025, exports of processed tuna and skipjack tuna to Japan totaled $76.41 million, up 21% from 2024. The policy aims to boost competitiveness in the Japanese market and expand market access for the fish processing industry.
