Bandung - The West Java Central Statistics Agency revealed that the new import tariff policy imposed by the United States (Trump Tariff) has the potential to disrupt West Java's export performance, although the effects of the imposition of the new import duty have not yet been seen.Acting Head of BPS West Java, Darwis Sitorus, said that the imposition of a 32 percent import tariff by the United States on products from other countries, including Indonesia, could have an impact on various sectors, including employment in West Java, considering that so far the US has been West Java's export destination, and the trade balance with the US has often had a surplus, where as of March 2025 there was a surplus of around 478.67 million US dollars."If this policy is implemented, the impact could be very large for West Java, considering that export products from West Java are among the highest to the US, such as knitwear, footwear, and rubber materials. We can imagine that millions of West Java residents are mostly in the industrial sector related to exports to the US," said Darwis.One of the things that is expected to address the issue of import duties imposed by the United States under Trump's leadership is the success of negotiations by President Prabowo Subianto to review the policy."Our hope is that the negotiations that will be carried out by Mr. Prabowo as expressed during the harvest in Majalengka, namely to review the policy. We pray that what is negotiated can benefit both parties," he said.In addition, he also hopes that the government's policy can open new markets for export-based industries, especially in countries that need to balance the trade balance.
