JAKARTA- Indonesia is tightening import rules for some consumer products including sport footwear, bicycles and air conditioning electronics, its trade ministry said, after a surge in imports in May and June.
Import permits will be required and tighter document controls put in place over the importation of 11 types of products, after overseas purchases rose significantly in those months.
“Import growth of some of these goods even exceeded 70 percent. Thus, the trade ministry needs to control imports of those goods,” trade minister, Agus Suparmanto, said in a statement released late on Sunday.

The new rules could affect imports of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of goods.
