Indonesia toughens import checks

摘要

Recovered materials shipped to Indonesia on or after 24 June 2009 will face new import checks brought in by the Indonesian Government. Containers of recovered metals, paper and plastics will need to be pre-inspected by an agency appointed by the country's ministry of trade. Only two agencies, SGS and BV, are currently authorised to do this. An agent must be present during the entire loading and sealing of containers.
