Indonesia — All Categories
Indonesia received 567 FDA import refusals across all food categories between 2024-Q1 and 2026-Q4. Volume peaked at 308 in 2025-Q3, with the trend falling sharply year-on-year. The most-cited issues are filth, charge 3910 (not in FDA's published charge table), and Salmonella. No trade baseline is published for some of Indonesia's categories, so no per-$1B rate is shown for the origin total.
