Import Steel Competition in RI
Imported steel still overshadows domestic products. Although Indonesia has started to export steel, the domestic steel market must compete with imported products.
According to the President Director of Krakatau Steel, Silmy Karim, so far the local steel market has been dominated by two groups, namely industrialists and traders. Many import desires come out of traders or traders who become importers. Not infrequently these traders import steel in a less precise way and even tends to cheat.
"We also think, why export if the domestic market is taken by other countries? Here there are two interests, the interests of traders and industrialists, if traders want to import and use inappropriate methods," said Silmy in the IDX Channel Market Review, WednesdayHe explained that the most common fraudulent method used by rogue steel importers was to circumvent the HS Code of steel when importing. Imported steel is made into products that have a 0% import duty.
That way, steel will be cheaper, when competing in the consumer market it is likely to choose a cheaper one. This makes domestic steel less competitive in the market.
"There is the transfer of the steel HS Code, this is where the steel is played so that the entry fee is changed to 0," said Silmy.
