TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - PT Honda Prospect Motor (HPM) is having an internal discussion on their export plan to Australia. This is a follow-up on the ratification of the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IE-CEPA).
The agreement is an opportunity to boost the exports of Indonesia's leading products; including vehicles. Through the IE-CEPA ini, Australia agreed to eliminate the import duty imposed on Indonesian goods from the previous 5 percent.
