The Minister of Trade, Zulkifli Hasan, said that the regulations on the restriction of PMI's personal belongings are returned to Permendag 25 Year 2022 regarding Amendments to the Minister of Trade Regulation Number 20 Year 2021 on Import Policies and Regulations.

"So the decision is one, first the spirit of Permendag 36 goes back to Permendag 25,"

Selain itu, pemerintah juga tidak membatasi jenis maupun jumlah barang asal luar negeri bawaan PMI. Hanya saja nilai maksimal barang bawaan masing-masing PMI ditetapkan maksimal US$1.500 per tahun.
"Nilai saja. tapi itu PMI, kalau orang belanja nggak diatur, terserah," bebernya. In addition, the government also does not restrict the type or quantity of goods brought in from abroad by PMI. However, the maximum value of each PMI's personal belongings is set at a maximum of US$1,500 per year.
"It's just a value. but that's for PMI, if people go shopping, it's not regulated, it's up to them," he explained.

Head of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI), Benny Rhamdani, mentioned that in the future, the personal belongings of foreign migrant workers will not be destroyed by the Customs and Excise Department or returned to their home country.

This considers the hard work of the Indonesian Red Cross in raising funds to purchase imported goods.

"There is no longer any excess PMI goods sent back to the country of origin, whether they are sent back to work or destroyed is not allowed."

With this, PMI only needs to pay import excess tax if it exceeds the value limit set by the government.

"But, it is considered that after the calculation of 1,500 USD is fulfilled, the excess is considered a common item that also must pay taxes, clear because this is the struggle of BP2MI and also the PMI."

"ujar Benny." translates to "said Benny."
