The analysis of this research is conducted by applying descriptive qualitative analysis. During the study period, it was found that the structure of imports that contributed a lot to total imports in a row was imports of raw materials followed by imports of capital goods after that import of consumer goods. Furthermore, the share of the import structure in Indonesia towards Gross Domestic Product (GDP), whose major role is the import of raw/auxiliary materials followed by imports of capital goods and then imports of consumer goods. So it can be concluded that Indonesia's dependence on imported goods is still very high, especially imports of raw materials and capital goods.
