JAKARTA - Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises (Menkop UKM) Teten Masduki instructed the e-Commerce platform to provide data on sellers of large-scale imported clothing, so that the state security forces could immediately follow up.

"They are okay, only every e-Commerce has different regulations. For example google, they have to have a complaint first, but BliBli already has an internal system, so it's impossible for them, every time they want to enter the product is curated first. The important thing is the commitment," said Coordinating Minister for SMEs Teten during a press conference after the Coordination Meeting on Content Handling and Selling of Illegal Used Clothing Imports through e-Commerce, Market Place, Social Commerce, and Social Media, in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Thursday 6 April.

Used clothes sold on e-Commerce and social commerce platforms, he said, were even sold on a large scale packaged in the form of ball press. A number of product photos on display also showed warehouse photos indicating that the seller was not a retail seller.

"He showed us the warehouse for his used clothes with the same ball press that we confiscated in Cikarang. I asked Bareskrim and Customs and Excise, this must be taken from the data," he said again.

The restrictions on the sale of used imported clothing in e-Commerce and social commerce, he said, were challenged because sellers had a number of modes, ranging from changing product names, changing product keywords to changing product photos.

However, all parties involved in the coordination meeting agreed to work together to eradicate the sale of used imported clothes from upstream and downstream.

Menteri Teten juga menegaskan bahwa penjualan pakaian bekas yang semakin marak terutama di e-Commerce, berdampak terhadap penjualan produsen pakaian lokal yang menurun drastis.

One of them, as stated directly by the Chairman of the Bandung Convection Entrepreneurs Association to him, admitted that production during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr was very quiet. In fact, usually convection entrepreneurs no longer receive orders three months before Eid.

"The most hitting thing is that in the last two years the sale of used clothes at e-Commerce, social commerce. Previously, the sale of these used clothes was still offline, people bought them were still secretly, secretly when they entered social commerce, e-Commerce, this has become a lifestyle and openly so that it has the most impact," said Teten.

On this occasion, Head of the IDEA Logistics Division (Indonesian e-Commerce Association) Even Alex Chandra said that Indonesia's e-Commerce associations always coordinate with a number of ministries/agencies including the police to reduce sales of imported clothing products.

"We have reduced tens of thousands of advertisements for illegal used imported clothes. We also always coordinate with the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Information and other ministries including the police to carry out coordination actions together so that all illegal products can immediately resolve their problems," he also said.
