Plastics from Indonesia represent an important segment of bilateral trade, with approximately $38B in total bilateral trade.

This 10% rate has a built-in expiration: Section 122 limits presidential tariff authority to 150 days, meaning the tariff expires approximately July 24, 2026 without congressional renewal.
