The increase occurred in 2012 when compared to 2008 it was noted that the most galvalume steel products were imported from Vietnam with a share of 60.04%. The increase in market share for Vietnam was 11.45%. With the surge in imports, there is a threat of serious losses experienced by the Indonesian galvalume steel industry. Therefore, Indonesia enforces a policy of protectionism against imports of galvalume steel. The author discusses the interests of Indonesia in imposing a Safeguard Measures Import Duty (BMTP) Policy on the Import of Galvalume Steel Products (case study: Indonesia-Vietnam Steel Imports).
