The government continues to boost the use of domestic products (P3DN) and increase the level of domestic components (TKDN). This step is to realize the independence of the domestic industrial sector. TKDN certification provides a number of advantages for the industry. Most importantly, more of the products will be absorbed through government procurement of goods and services. In 2022, the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) will facilitate domestic industrial companies to obtain TKDN certificates in 2022 as many as 1,250 product certificates.

The Ministry of Industry has allocated funding through the National Priority Budget (PN) of Rp. 20 billion to facilitate the TKDN certification.

"The products that will be facilitated include industrial products of medical devices, agricultural tools and machinery, pharmaceuticals, machinery, electronics, and telematics," explained the Minister of Industry (Menperin) Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita in Jakarta, Tuesday (4/1/2022).

In addition to the industrial sector, Agus said, the Ministry of Industry will also facilitate TKDN certificates for the metal, electricity, chemical, fertilizer, automotive and component industries, ceramics, cement, textiles, and small and medium-sized industrial products (IKM).

"The TKDN certificate is proof of the legality of the TKDN value of a product. The government continues to encourage optimizing the obligation to use domestic products," he said.

One of the ways is by socializing regulations that contain the obligation to use domestic products, for example PP no. 29 of 2018 concerning Industrial Empowerment. Agus explained, companies can take advantage of the free TKDN certification facility from the Ministry of Industry by meeting the requirements. These include having a business license in the industrial sector or a business registration number (NIB), having a company establishment deed, having a taxpayer identification number (NPWP), and having registered with the National Industrial Information System (SIINas).

Later, if industrial companies already have valid permits, produce, invest, and are located in Indonesia, they can take advantage of the free TKDN certification facility from the government.

"Sectors that are entitled to take advantage of this facility are industries that have a minimum TKDN value of 25% and each company is facilitated with up to eight product certificates a year," explained the Minister of Industry.
