Bags Of Postel And TKDN Permits, IPhone 17 Series Ready To Be Sold In RI This Month

JAKARTA - The Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) has confirmed that the iPhone 17 series is ready to be sold in Indonesia this October.

The Director General of Metal, Machinery, Transportation Equipment and Electronics (ILMATE) of the Ministry of Industry, Setia Darta, said that Apple products will soon be circulating in the market after pocketing a Domestic Component Level (TKDN) certificate from the Ministry of Industry, postal certification from the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) to a product registration sign aka imported TPP from the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag).

"It looks like it can be (sold in October 2025) because the process has been completed. TKDN, postal has been completed, even for TPP the import has been completed," said the man who was familiarly called Tata when met at the Coordinating Ministry for GPA, Jakarta, Monday, October 6.

Tata memastikan, produk iPhone 17 series itu akan dijual pada bulan ini. Mengingat, Apple sudah memenuhi semua persyaratan dari Pemerintah RI.

"If (based on) the information (ready) it is ready to launch," he added.

Previously, the Ministry of Industry confirmed that the Domestic Component Level (TKDN) certificate for the iPhone 17 would be issued on Thursday night, September 11.

The administrative process, which is the main requirement before the official equipment is marketed in the country, is now entering its final stage.

Head of the Center for the Use of Domestic Products (P3DN) of the Ministry of Industry, Heru Kustanto, confirmed that Apple had registered the iPhone 17 Series file to obtain a TKDN certificate.

"The iPhone 17 has registered (TKDN certificate), there are four files registered for the iPhone 17. Hopefully this afternoon it will be finished for the review. After returning from here I will check, when it is finished I will immediately approve out. tonight we can also exit (TKDN certificate) for four units," said Heru when met at the Ministry of Industry office, Jakarta, Thursday, September 11.

Even so, people still have to be patient to be able to buy the iPhone 17 officially in the country.

After the TKDN certificate was issued, Apple still had to go through other licensing stages, including postal certification issued by the Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure of the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi).

Menurut Heru, penerbitan sertifikat postel biasanya memakan waktu lebih lama.

Selain itu, Apple juga membutuhkan waktu untuk mengatur distribusi perangkat dari luar negeri ke Indonesia.

Peluncuran resmi iPhone 17 di Indonesia diperkirakan baru dapat dilakukan pada awal Oktober 2025.

"Biasanya mereka akan mengurus izin edar ke Komdigi. Kalau sudah selesai, barang tinggal masuk ke Indonesia. Komdigi butuh proses, kemudian kirim ke Indonesia. Seminggu harusnya sudah selesai. Awal Oktober paling lama," ungkapnya.

According to Heru, the issuance of postal certificates usually takes longer.

In addition, Apple also needs time to regulate the distribution of devices from abroad to Indonesia.

The official launch of the iPhone 17 in Indonesia is only expected to take place in early October 2025.

"Usually they will apply for a distribution permit to Komdigi. When it is finished, goods just enter Indonesia. Komdigi needs a process, then send it to Indonesia. A week should have been completed. Early October is the longest," he said.
