Partner Event: A Hybrid Workshop on the Pharmaceutical Sector: The Indonesian Import Regulations and the Opportunities Offered by Italian Companies

On July 18, 2024, the Italian Embassy in Jakarta held a hybrid workshop in collaboration with the Italian Business Association in Indonesia (IBAI) and the Italian Trade Agency, on the pharmaceutical sector to discuss "The Indonesian Import Regulations and the Opportunities Offered by Italian Companies". This workshop provided detailed information on the Indonesian updated import regulations for drugs and chemicals, and the many opportunities offered by Italian enterprises to the development of the Indonesian market.

Government regulations ensure that circulation of imported medicinal and pharmaceutical products meets the required safety, efficacy, and quality standards, necessitating regulatory updates occasionally. Following up on this effort, the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia released Regulation No. 5 Year 2023 concerning Narcotics, Psychotropic Drugs, and Pharmaceutical Precursors. It includes the procedures for testing, supervision, and control of narcotics, psychotropic drugs, and pharmaceutical precursors entering Indonesia.
