ABSTRACT Republic of Indonesia’s Ministry of Trade launched import bureaucratization policy to restrict batik and machine-printed batik TPT. The policy has been encapsulated in Permendag No. 53 Year 2015. Its economic purpose is to protect local batik and machine-printed batik industry, while its normative purpose is to safeguard batik as a cultural heritage. Thus, Indonesian government use UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Safeguard (ICHS Convention) as its justification means. This research is aimed to discuss about whether and how ICHS Convention might be compatible to justify import restriction policy of batik and machine-printed batik TPT in Indonesia. Moreover, this policy was created in international trade context and imported batik and machine-printed batik TPT are not Indonesian batik’s like product. This is a qualitative research, which has been conducted by doing documentation, literature study, and interview. From this research, we know that ICHS Convention is weak to be used as its import policy’s economic justification. However, normatively, ICHS Convention has strong potential to justify batik products as Indonesia’s product which need to be protected in any aspect, including international trade for cultural products, especially in the field of creative economy and its MOO.
