New ITAR Licensing Policy for Indonesia
January 2006
DDTC announced that the US Government has decided to end its ban on the export of lethal defense articles and related services to Indonesia. Eventually, the government will announce this policy with a notice in the Federal Register.
What does the policy mean in terms of what licenses and agreements will be approved? DDTC says that applications for exports of lethal defense articles and services to the Indonesian armed forces “will be considered on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with standard practice,” which does not tell you a whole lot. Bottom line: It is worth considering new business in Indonesia , if you want to give it a try, before you get too involved you might want to contact DDTC and discuss what you are considering.
