Meanwhile, the Government has banned the sale and purchase transaction of imported used clothes because one of the activities violates and greatly deviates from the applicable laws and regulations. The import trade itself has also been regulated in "Article 2 paragraph (3) PERMENDAG Number 18 of 2021 concerning Exported and Imported Goods." This imported used clothing is included in the category of dangerous goods because it has been bought and sold freely and there is no strict screening beforehand.
