This is also in line with the increasingly developing the circulation flow of goods, services and capital between countries, either through import-export relations, investment, trade in services, licensing and franchising, intellectual property rights and technology transfer. This activity has been going on both regional and global in scope, known as free trade. Participation of Indonesia as a member of the world trade organization through its ratification of Law Number 7 of 1994 on Ratification of the Agreement Establishing the World Trade, on 2 November 1994 (L N. RI No. 1994. 57, TLN. RI. 3564), it brings the eexternal and internal consequences for Indonesia. The External consequences, that Indonesia must comply with all the agreements in the WTO, while the internal consequences, Indonesia should amend national legislation in accordance with the legal principles agreed in the GATT-WTO provisions. Globalization in the trade sector in addition to providing a positive impact in facilitating import-export activities, but on the other hand it turns free trade brings huge problems for producers and domestic consumers.
