Indonesia Seeks Zero Tariffs on Copper Exports

Published on 8.1.25

  Indonesia is seeking to boost its competitiveness in the US market through a new tariff policy, which could benefit commodities such as copper concentrate and copper cathode that are not produced in the US. The country is pushing for zero percent tariffs on these industrial commodities, including crude palm oil, rubber, meranti wood, and copper derivative products, as part of ongoing negotiations with the US. In return, Indonesia has committed to purchasing $15 billion worth of energy products, $4.5 billion worth of agricultural goods, and 50 Boeing aircraft from the US.
