Coal, CPO, and Ferroalloy Exports to Officially Pass Through DSI; Implementation Stages Outlined
The Indonesian government has officially mandated all exporters of coal, crude palm oil (CPO), and ferroalloy to report their export activities through PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) starting 1 June 202cap 2026. Currently, this policy is in the initial transition phase of establishing a single-door governance system for natural resource exports.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, explained that the policy aims to strengthen supervision and the validity of the nation’s export data. He emphasised that this reporting obligation is intended to prevent price manipulation practices and the flight of export proceeds (DHE) overseas. The transition period towards full implementation will continue until 31 December 2026. “Implementation will take effect from 1 June 2026,” Airlangga stated during a press conference in Jakarta.
Regarding the implementation stages, during the transition period starting 1 June 2026, exporters may still conduct international trade independently but are required to synchronise their transaction data with the state. This reporting process will be facilitated by the Directorate General of Customs and Excise through the CEISA 4.0 portal to ensure data validity before the full implementation phase begins on 1 January 2027. “During this period, evaluations will be conducted in the first three months, which will serve as the basis for the next stage of implementation. According to the prepared schedule, full implementation will take effect no later than 1 January 2027,” Airlangga explained.
The selection of these three primary commodities is based on their significant contribution to the national total exports, which reached US$ 66.13 billion (approximately IDR 1,179 trillion) or 23.4% of total national exports. Specifically, over the last 71 months, coal exports were recorded at US$ 24.48 billion, CPO at US$ 24.42 billion, and ferroalloy at US$ 16.49 billion.
“The objective is to prevent under-invoicing, transfer pricing, and issues related to the flight of export proceeds, ensuring that recorded export values reflect actual transaction volumes, thereby optimising state obligations and national revenue,” he clarified.
Meanwhile, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Danantara, Dony Oskaria, stated that the transition period towards full implementation will last approximately seven months, from 1 June to 31 December 2026. He noted that PT DSI is currently conducting a human resources selection process, which is expected to conclude this week. Additionally, PT DSI is preparing advanced technological systems to support the policy before its full enforcement next year. “We from Danantara Indonesia will strive our best, and this programme’s implementation can be monitored by the Indonesian public,” Oskaria concluded.
