A CONSIGNMENT of Australian beef is stuck on an Indonesian dock because of anomalies with import documents in the latest problem to hit Australia's beef trade with Indonesia.
A spokesman for the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry said shipments from other countries had also been affected.
"We are aware that Australian beef has been held up by Indonesian Customs, due to anomalies with the import documentation presented by the Indonesian importer," he said in a statement.
"This is a serious matter and we are conscious that exporters may not have been paid for their product."
The ABC reported said the shipment was worth up to $10 million and could remain on the dock in Jakarta for several more days because the relevant Indonesian ministers were all out of the country.
The department spokesman said the issue of payment and port charges on the detained shipments were a commercial matter for the exporter and importer.
"The Australian government is actively seeking to have the matter resolved quickly, either by allowing the beef to enter Indonesia or by facilitating its re-export to another market," he said.
Australian Embassy representatives in Jakarta had been working with the exporters, Australian meat industry representatives and the Indonesian authorities to find a solution.
As well, Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig has written to Indonesian Minister for Agriculture Suswono, seeking a resolution of this matter.
However Suswono is reported to be away from Indonesia participating in the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.
