The WTO panel agreed with the United States on 18 out of 18 claims that Indonesia is applying import restrictions and prohibitions that are inconsistent with WTO rules.
Indonesia imposes restrictions on imports of certain horticultural products during harvest periods to avoid competition with its domestic producers.
