Business Leaders Urge Gradual Implementation of Single-Window Export Policy
Business leaders are calling on the government to give special attention to implementing the single-window export policy through PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI), effective today. The request was made by business groups including the Indonesian Employers’ Association, Indonesian Mining Association, Indonesian Coal Mining Association, Nickel Industry Forum, and the Indonesian Palm Oil Entrepreneurs Association. “To maintain industrial stability, business certainty, and continuity of national exports, we consider it necessary to pay special attention to strategic aspects,” according to a joint statement released on Monday, 1 June 2026.
First, businesses urge the phased, transparent, and accountable implementation of the single-window export system, considering the unique characteristics of each sector. Commodities such as coal, nickel, ferro-nickel/ferro-alloy, and palm oil have diverse contract structures, supply chains, financing mechanisms, and international buyer profiles.
They request that export operations continue under existing mechanisms, with enhanced oversight and digital system integration by DSI during the transition period.
The second demand is legal certainty and business mechanisms. Business groups insist on guarantees for current and long-term contracts, payment mechanisms, shipping, and insurance provisions.
Additionally, they seek clarity on DHE obligations, Domestic Market Obligation (DMO), and international trade scheme treatments. They believe the government must issue transparent technical guidelines to eliminate negative speculation and maintain international confidence in Indonesia as a global commodity supplier.
Thirdly, businesses want DSI to operate transparently and accountably without imposing extra costs on companies. They urge the government to clearly define DSI’s role to build trust among businesses and international markets.
They also call for systematic handling of under-invoicing and transfer pricing through modern information technology, with legal enforcement targeted specifically at violators.
They request an integrated export platform designed as a closed-loop system covering the entire upstream-downstream industrial chain, connected to all relevant agencies, ensuring transparency, credibility, and data confidentiality for each industry participant.
Furthermore, business groups propose establishing a technical coordination forum involving government, DSI, financial authorities, and business associations to comprehensively discuss commodity scope, pricing mechanisms, Service Level Agreements (SLAs), payment and dispute resolution, and transition steps to full implementation.
Finally, they urge the government or DSI to promptly brief international buyers and importers on the single-window export governance policy.
