Analisis Pengambilan Keputusan Kementerian Perdagangan Republik Indonesia Dalam Larangan Impor Pakaian Bekas (Thrifting) Menurut Teori Rasional

Abstract

The Ministry of Trade's decision making regarding the types of goods that are allowed to enter the country is based on consideration of several threats that have the potential to harm the nation. Three types of goods that are not allowed to enter the country based on Minister of Trade Regulation (Permendag) No. 40 of 2022 include used sacks, used bags and used clothes. The types of goods mentioned in the Minister of Trade Regulation (Permendag) are considered to cause many problems in various sectors of life including economic, social and environmental problems. This research uses the literature review method as an approach to explore and analyze phenomena related to the policy of banning used clothing imports. The research was carried out by searching scientific journals, articles, research reports and other related documents that discuss the consumption of used clothes, its impact and the policies taken by the government in responding to this phenomenon. This decision making is a rational action carried out by the government based on logical thinking and considerations. This prohibition was carried out because of the increase in textile waste in the country, obstruction of the market for Indonesian products and loss of state income which, if left unchecked without regulations, could result in disparities in various sectors of life.
