InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – Indonesia's Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) has confirmed its readiness to implement the country's new export governance framework for strategic natural resource commodities under Government Regulation (PP) No. 24 of 2026, which covers palm oil, coal, and ferro alloy exports.
Speaking during a socialization event on the newly issued trade regulations attended by InfoSAWIT on Tuesday (9/6/2026), Agus Budi Priyono of DJBC's Directorate of Customs Technical Affairs said the regulation provides a stronger legal basis for integrated oversight involving multiple government institutions.
"The commodities covered by this export governance framework include coal, palm oil in the form of crude palm oil (CPO) and its derivatives, as well as ferro alloys," Agus said.
To support implementation, the government has issued several derivative regulations, including Minister of Trade Regulation No. 16/2026 for palm oil exports, alongside customs-related ministerial decrees designed to align export procedures with the new policy.
According to Agus, DJBC has updated the CEISA 4.0 customs system and coordinated with the National Single Window and the Ministry of Trade to ensure export licensing and compliance requirements can be processed automatically.
He emphasized that customs authorities play a broader role beyond border control, including safeguarding domestic supply chains and ensuring exporters comply with prevailing regulations.
Indonesia has designated a transition period until December 31, 2026, allowing exporters to continue operating under existing mechanisms while adapting to new reporting obligations.
"Overall, the customs process remains largely unchanged. The key addition is enhanced reporting requirements," Agus explained.
Under the new arrangement, exporters of strategic commodities will be required to provide additional export data through the customs system, including declarations related to the Natural Resource Export Proceeds (DHE SDA) management framework.
The full implementation of the new export governance system is scheduled to commence on January 1, 2027. (T2)
