The Indonesia Iron & Steel Industry Association (IISIA) menyatakan, Indonesia membutuhkan kebijakan tambahan agar para produsen baja nasional dapat bertahan sekaligus bersaing dengan produk baja murah China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Direktur Eksekutif IISIA Widodo Setiadharmaji mengatakan, produk baja asal China terus membanjiri pasar global. Dalam catatan IISIA, ekspor produk baja China ke pasar global meningkat 39,03% dari 6,64 juta ton pada 2022 menjadi 9,23 juta ton pada 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tren ini berlanjut pada Januari-Agustus 2024 yang mana ekspor baja China naik 18,46% menjadi 7,13 juta ton, dari periode yang sama tahun sebelumnya yakni 6,02 juta ton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lebih lanjut, impor baja China ke pasar Indonesia mengalami kenaikan 43,71% dari 2,85 juta ton pada 2022 menjadi 4,05 juta ton pada 2023. Peningkatan impor baja China juga terjadi pada Januari-Juli 2024 sebesar 33,92% menjadi 2,98 juta ton, dibandingkan periode yang sama tahun lalu yakni 2,23 juta ton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHal ini mengakibatkan produsen baja nasional sangat sulit untuk bersaing dengan produk baja murah asal China, baik di pasar domestik maupun global,\u201d ujar dia, Jumat (18\/10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beruntung, kebijakan Harga Gas Bumi Tertentu (HGBT) yang masih berlanjut dapat membuat daya saing industri baja nasional tetap terjaga. Namun, hal itu belum cukup. Diperlukan kebijakan tambahan agar produsen baja nasional dapat bertahan dari gempuran produk baja dari China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beberapa negara lain pun mulai menutup pasar domestik dari serbuan impor baja China melalui penerapan berbagai trade remedies. Misalnya, India yang akan menaikkan bea masuk impor dari 7,5% menjadi sekitar 10%-12% untuk melindungi pasar domestiknya dari banjir impor baja China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amerika Serikat juga mengenakan tarif sebesar 25% (Section 301) untuk produk baja China pada masa pemerintahan Joe Biden. Sebelumnya, AS juga pernah meningkatkan bea masuk baja impor China sebesar 25% (Section 232) ketika Donald Trump berkuasa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selain itu, Meksiko turut menerapkan tarif bea masuk sekitar 5%-25% untuk produk baja dari negara-negara yang tidak memiliki perjanjian perdagangan bebas dengan Meksiko. Brazil juga mengerek pajak impor menjadi 25% dari sebelumnya 9%-12,5% untuk beberapa jenis produk baja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lebih jauh, Uni Eropa mengenakan tariff rate quota sebesar 25% serta kebijakan Mekanisme Penyesuaian Perbatasan Karbon (CBAM) yang efektif berlaku mulai 2026. Kebijakan ini membuat produk baja dengan emisi karbon tinggi sulit bersaing di pasar Eropa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baru-baru ini, Kanada juga memberlakukan tarif sebesar 25% untuk produk baja impor asal China guna mencegah pengalihan pasar akibat kebijakan yang diambil mitra dagangnya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBahkan, produsen baja di Jepang dan Korea juga kesulitan bersaing dengan produk baja China dan meminta perlindungan dari pemerintahnya masing-masing,\u201d ungkap Widodo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kebijakan trade remedies, lanjut Widodo, sangat dibutuhkan lantaran pasar domestik berpotensi dibanjiri produk baja China yang dijual dengan harga dumping. Ini mengingat negara-negara lain mulai melindungi pasar domestiknya, sehingga China mengalihkan penjualannya ke Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selain pengetatan impor, produsen baja nasional juga membutuhkan penerapan Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) sekaligus peningkatan pengawasan atas kepatuhan produk SNI di pasar. Hal ini penting untuk memastikan bahwa produk impor tanpa SNI tidak dapat masuk ke pasar domestik.\n\n\u201cDi samping itu, diperlukan penyelesaian dan implementasi neraca komoditas agar persetujuan impor dapat mempertimbangkan kemampuan pasokan industri baja nasional,\u201d tandas dia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Source: Kontan.co.id | October 21, 2024 The Indonesia Iron & Steel Industry Association (IISIA) stated that Indonesia needs additional policies so that national steel producers can survive and compete with cheap Chinese steel products. IISIA Executive Director Widodo Setiadharmaji said that steel products from China continue to flood the global market. According to IISIA records, China’s exports of steel products to the global market increased 39.03% from 6.64 million tons in 2022 to 9.23 million tons in 2023. This trend continued in January-August 2024, when China’s steel exports rose 18.46% to 7.13 million tons, from the same period the previous year, namely 6.02 million tons. Furthermore, Chinese steel imports to the Indonesian market increased by 43.71% from 2.85 million tons in 2022 to 4.05 million tons in 2023. The increase in Chinese steel imports also occurred in January-July 2024 by 33.92% to 2 .98 million tons, compared to the same period last year, namely 2.23 million tons. “This makes it very difficult for national steel producers to compete with cheap steel products from China, both in the domestic and global markets,” he said, Friday (18\/10). Luckily, the ongoing Certain Natural Gas Price (HGBT) policy can maintain the competitiveness of the national steel industry. However, that wasn’t enough. Additional policies are needed so that national steel producers can survive the onslaught of steel products from China. Several other countries have begun to close their domestic markets from the invasion of Chinese steel imports through the implementation of various trade remedies. For example, India will increase import duties from 7.5% to around 10%-12% to protect its domestic market from a flood of Chinese steel imports. The United States also imposed a 25% tariff (Section 301) on Chinese steel products during the Joe Biden administration. Previously, the US had also increased import duties on imported Chinese steel by 25% (Section 232) when Donald Trump came to power. In addition, Mexico also applies import duties of around 5% -25% for steel products from countries that do not have a free trade agreement with Mexico. Brazil also increased import taxes to 25% from the previous 9%-12.5% \u200b\u200bfor several types of steel products. Furthermore, the European Union imposes a tariff rate quota of 25% as well as a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) policy which will be effective from 2026. This policy makes it difficult for steel products with high carbon emissions to compete in the European market. Recently, Canada also imposed a 25% tariff on imported steel products from China to prevent market diversion due to policies taken by its trading partners. “In fact, steel producers in Japan and Korea are also having difficulty competing with Chinese steel products and are asking for protection from their respective governments,” said Widodo. The trade remedies policy, continued Widodo, is really needed because the domestic market has the potential to be flooded with Chinese steel products sold at dumping prices. This is because other countries are starting to protect their domestic markets, so China is shifting its sales to Indonesia. Apart from tightening imports, national steel producers also need to implement Indonesian National Standards (SNI) as well as increase supervision over SNI product compliance in the market. This is important to ensure that imported products without SNI cannot enter the domestic market. “In addition, it is necessary to complete and implement a commodity balance so that import approvals can take into account the supply capacity of the national steel industry,” he stressed.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":6749,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[186,187],"class_list":["post-6748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-announcements","tag-iisia","tag-impor-baja"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6748\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
