Mr. Nirwala has stated that since 2017 to 2021, Indonesia has been imposing a tariff of 57% on electronic cigarette products. This year, however, the taxation is based on units, with a tariff of IDR 2.71 imposed on every gram of solid tobacco products, IDR 445 on every milliliter of open system e-liquid, and IDR 6.03 on every milliliter of closed system e-liquid.
The Secretary-General of the Indonesian Vaping Association proposes that Chinese companies establish factories in Batam, Indonesia for electronic cigarettes.
On October 20th, 2FIRSTS conducted an exclusive interview with Garindra Kartasasmita, the Secretary-General of the Electronic Cigarette Association of Indonesia (APVI).
When asked how the Chinese e-cigarette industry could help their Indonesian counterparts, Garindra offered a practical suggestion for all Chinese manufacturers. Garindra stated that if their target markets are still in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, and the Middle East, then they should consider establishing a manufacturing plant in Batam, Indonesia. Batam Island is designated as a free trade zone, which means that Chinese companies can import all their raw materials without paying any tariffs and easily export their products.
LAMY plans to fully expand its range of products in the Southeast Asian market.
Laimi has identified the Southeast Asian market as a crucial strategic market and therefore displayed a wider range of products at the exhibition, including both large and small pod vapes, large and small disposable e-cigarettes, and refillable products. Laimi plans to distribute its products throughout Indonesia and will adapt its sales and promotion plans based on market feedback.
Product quality platform suggests Indonesia could become the largest e-cigarette market in Southeast Asia.
According to staff members at Pinduoduo, a significant proportion of Indonesia's population is comprised of young people, making it a potentially huge market and providing the company with a great deal of confidence in the future of the vaporization industry in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
