Government has issued joint decree of minister of trade and fishery on June 23, 2010, which temporarily bans import of both frozen and fresh shrimps from Penaeus Vaname species.
Temporary import bank is applied to shrimp under Tariff Post HS 0306.13.00.00. Shrimps from other species, both head on and head less, meanwhile, can only be imported through certain seaports (Belawan, Tanjung Priok, Tanjung Emas, Tanjung Perak, and Soekarno-Hatta) and or airports (Polonia, Soekarno-Hatta, Juanda, and Sultan Hasanuddin).
The temporary import ban will applied for the next six months to prevent the virus attack on Indonesian shrimp.
