I. INTRODUCTION
To enter the worldwide market, Indonesia needs access to industrial development,
Indonesian Industry now demands a wider level in the international market. This industrial
development means that Indonesia will have to lower tariffs for imported goods in the long
run. The obstacles that will be faced are not only about tariffs but there will be barriers to
import violations and import quotas and imports must be partially eliminated and reduced.
Thus, the industry competition must be fair and impartial.
Currently, the Indonesian government must be very careful in dealing with trade
globalization in the agreement to apply the principles of Most Favored Nation (MFN) and
National Treatment (NT). To be able to compete with other countries, Indonesia must be
smart to take advantage of all the advantages it has to improve its bargaining position
