KN. Economic Affairs Coordinating Minister Airlangga Hartarto announced that natural resource exporters will be required to report export activities to PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) starting June 1. This reporting will be carried out through the Customs Excise Information System and Automation (CEISA) 4.0 platform of the Finance Ministry’s Directorate General of Customs and Excise. Previously, export companies were only required to report to the directorate general. The initial implementation of the new reporting mechanism will begin with three export commodities: coal, ferroalloys, and palm oil. He explained that the three commodities were selected as they have been key drivers of Indonesia’s trade balance surplus for 71 consecutive months up to March 2026.
Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said the new export policy aims to strengthen foreign exchange reserves and maintain economic stability. He said that exporters must repatriate 100 percent of export proceeds from natural resources. “Exporters with bilateral agreements may place part of the funds in non-state-owned banks, capped at 30 percent of total export proceeds, for a maximum of three months,” he added. He said the government will exempt natural resource exporters from income tax on export earnings placed in domestic banks, and the amount of tax incentives granted to each exporter would depend on how long the funds are retained in the domestic financial system.
