JAKARTA - Indonesia’s Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) Ministry has summoned the country’s major e-commerce platforms to demand they stop advertising and selling imported second-hand clothing, as the government moves to limit imports that officials say are hurting local producers
The ministry on Nov 7 met representatives from the Indonesian E-commerce Association (idEA), whose members include Shopee, Tokopedia and TikTok Shop, to follow up on President Prabowo Subianto’s order to curb such illegal imports.
