US Deems Indonesia’s Tariff Negotiation Documents Complete
Main Takeaways

JAKARTA, investortrust.id — The United States has confirmed that Indonesia’s supplementary documents for reciprocal tariff negotiations are complete, effectively eliminating the need for another round of talks.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said the assessment followed a meeting with Jamieson Greer, senior official at the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), held on the sidelines of the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting last week.
“We’ve submitted the additional documents they requested. During the meeting with Ambassador Jamieson Greer, they said the documentation is sufficient,” Airlangga told reporters in Jakarta on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
The development marks a significant step in Indonesia’s bid to secure more favorable trade terms with the US. Negotiations have centered on reciprocal tariffs, non-tariff barriers, digital trade, and economic security.
Although the second round of talks was initially scheduled to take place in Washington next week, the USTR’s conclusion could change that timeline. However, Airlangga emphasized that Indonesia would continue to monitor the process closely.
18 Countries in the Lead
Last week, Airlangga had announced that Indonesia had submitted its complete tariff negotiation dossier to US authorities. The document is expected to inform the USTR’s decisions on how to structure tariff preferences.
“Indonesia’s negotiating team has completed the first round of talks, covering a wide range of issues from tariff structures to non-tariff measures, digital economy, and economic security,” he said on Wednesday, June 4.
He added that Indonesia is among 18 countries whose negotiation documents are considered more advanced by the US. “We hope this leads to optimal results for Indonesian trade in global markets,” he said.
