The Indonesian Trade Ministry required exporters and producers to pre-register chemical products and other industry-related goods exporting to European Union (EU) markets, an official said.
"If Indonesian exporters don't do that, they can not export the products. The regulation will be effective starting Dec. 1," Partogi Pangaribuan, head of chemistry and mining directorate of the ministry told Xinhua by phone on Saturday.
EU imposed a new regulation on foreign exporters, requiring them to follow procedural registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemical products (REACH) under the European Chemical Agency (ECHA).
According to Pangaribuan, two Indonesian exporters association of palm oil and basic chemicals have proceeded with the pre-registration process recently.
"ECHA will be strict to regulate the chemical data otherwise they will not let the goods coming to EU. They say that no data no export," he said.
Based on the data of the Trade Ministry, there are 10,293 companies which regularly export the goods to EU such as textile, furniture and shoes.
