Companies that provide trade credit insurance services mitigate payment risks for foreign firms that sell products and services on credit. Businesses that wish to export their products to Indonesia should familiarize themselves with the Indonesian marketplace. Those who have conducted business in Indonesia know from experience that collecting debts, intellectual property rights, and communicating properly with the locals are a problem. Foreigners can improve their chances of success by collaborating with a translator who will help them communicate with Indonesians in the local language. Foreign companies should register their patents and other intangible properties.
In order to do so, they will have to seek professional Indonesian translation services for their documents including a statement declaring that their trademark is original. Although in 1994 Indonesia signed “The Trade Related Aspect of Intellectual Property Rights and Counterfeit Goods” authorities in Indonesia still struggle in enforcing the laws.
Considering all these points, foreigners can still earn profits in Indonesia by doing everything they can to minimize IP theft and access credit information for local entities. They should also learn Indonesia’s tax laws, document translation requirements, and import regulations, which vary based on the specific product. Working with a local agent will assist you in using the right channels to distribute your products and find your target market in Indonesia.
