Jakarta (ANTARA) - Minister of Communication and Informatics, Budi Arie Setiadi, called on the e-commerce platform, TikTok Shop, which resumed its operation on December 12, to limit selling imported goods.
"As long as it complies with the laws and regulations, we support it. However, do not sell many imported goods, (as) the government will monitor it. It will be a loss for our micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs)," he noted in an event on Wednesday.
Setiadi said his team would monitor and remind the platform to not sell many imported goods through the e-commerce platform that is currently partnering with PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk (GoTo).
"This is not about illegal or legal imported goods. Our team will monitor it. This is a reminder for the platform. Any violation will be reported to the Trade Ministry," he emphasized.
The collaboration between TikTok and GoTo means that the shopping service feature in the TikTok application in Indonesia is now operated and managed by Tokopedia.
