Abstract

This study surveyed the Indonesian business law, import and
joint venture licensing regulations and found out how the law has

implemented sweeping regulations imposing non-automatic import
licensing procedures. The study adopted a qualitative method approach
employing the inductive method of collecting data. As a result, the
Indonesian business law even violated the WTO agreement by
introducing arbitrary regulations sanctioning imports in a few cases. In
conclusion, the government must also try to accelerate regulatory
reforms, particularly in services sectors where market restrictions have
been shown to negatively affect trade in manufactured goods.
