Indonesia’s bonded zone facility for small and medium industries (KITE IKM) is helping strengthen the competitiveness of the garment sector in Pekalongan by facilitating easier access to international markets. Through this program, businesses receive incentives such as import duty exemptions and simplified customs procedures for raw materials used in export-oriented production. The initiative aims to encourage small and medium enterprises to expand production capacity and increase their participation in global trade.

Authorities expect the facility to support local manufacturers in improving productivity, broadening their international market reach, and creating more employment opportunities. With continued assistance and export facilitation from customs authorities, the garment industry in Pekalongan is increasingly positioned to deliver high-quality products that can compete globally while contributing positively to regional economic growth.
