On July 7, 2025, the Indonesian Ministry of Communications and Digital Affairs (KOMDIGI) issued a draft ministerial decree listing telecommunications tools and other equipment with telecommunication capabilities that must comply with Indonesian technical standards and be certified. This move aims to implement the provisions of Article 33 of the Ministry of Communications and Information Regulation No. 3 of 2024 on the certification of telecommunications equipment.

The draft covers the following:

• Identification of a list of telecommunications equipment and/or telecommunications equipment that must comply with technical standards, including other tools and/or equipment with telecommunications functions;
• The list of telecommunications equipment and/or telecommunication devices and other tools and/or equipment with telecommunication functions shall be compiled on the basis of the customs HS code in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations;
• The introduction of the customs HS code in the Ministerial Decree is only used as a means of administrative supervision, and is not used as a reference for determining the HS code of the type of goods in the customs settlement process.
• If telecommunications equipment and/or telecommunications installations and other tools and/or equipment with telecommunications functions are not already listed in the annex to this Ministerial Decree, they are still required to comply with the technical standards;
• This draft Ministerial Decree shall enter into force within 30 (thirty) calendar days from the date of its determination.
