Recently, the Indonesian Trade Minister publicly stated that they will impose import tariffs of up to 200% on Chinese goods, in order to alleviate the impact of the trade war between China and the United States on Indonesia.
近日,印尼贸易部长对外公开表示,将对中国商品征收高达200%的进口关税,从而减轻中美贸易战对印尼的影响。


China is the world's largest producer and exporter of electric vehicles, while Indonesia is the most important and high-quality target country for Chinese electric vehicle companies. Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world, with a large number of Chinese people living there. Its economy is equivalent to that of China in the 1990s, and the number of motorcycles is high. In recent years, the government has been promoting the replacement and upgrading of gasoline powered motorcycles to electric vehicles, and its relationship with China is good. Many factors have made Indonesia an important export country for Chinese electric vehicle enterprises.
中国是世界上最大的电动车生产国和出口国,而印尼,是中国电动车企业最重要最优质的目标国。印尼人口全球第四,生活着大量的华人,并且经济相当于中国90年代的水平,摩托车保有量高,这几年政府在推动燃油摩托车向电动车的替代升级,与中国关系不错,众多因素让印尼成为中国电动车企业出口的重要国家。


If the above actions are implemented, it will definitely be bad news for Chinese electric vehicle companies exporting to Indonesia! Because the cost of purchasing for local consumers will increase by two times, and Indonesia's low consumption level means that many consumers who can purchase electric vehicles will be deterred and cancel their purchase plans. The only way for Chinese companies to stimulate purchases is to compress profits.
如果以上行动付诸实施,对于中国电动车企业出口印尼绝对是一个噩耗!因为当地消费者购买成本会提高2倍,而印尼的消费水平偏低,意味着很多能购买电动车的消费者会望而却步,取消购买计划。而中国企业想刺激购买,唯一的手段就是压缩利润。


Some people say that companies that set up factories in Indonesia or local Indonesian companies will benefit from this policy by not imposing an additional 200% import tariff. Electric vehicle observers believe that there will also be an impact on them, as many supporting components in Indonesia are not completely self-sufficient and need to be imported domestically, with an additional 200% import tariff.
有人说,那些在印尼设厂的企业或者印尼本土企业,它们不收加征200%进口关税的影响,会是这个政策的受益方。电动车观察员认为,对他们影响也会有,因为很多配套件印尼并不完全自给自足,还需要从国内进口,同样要加征200%进口关税。
