Customs Supports New Regulation on Natural Resource Export Proceeds
The government has officially strengthened the management of Natural Resource Export Proceeds (DHE SDA) and the governance of strategic commodity exports through the issuance of Government Regulations Number 21 of 2026 and Number 24 of 2026. This strategic move aims to increase foreign exchange retention, bolster the stability of the national financial system, and add value to the management of national natural resources.
The Head of the Sub-directorate of Public Relations and Community Service at Customs, Budi Prasetito, stated that this policy is the result of synergy across various ministries and agencies. Customs is fully committed to supporting the implementation of these regulations by optimising its service and supervision functions within the customs sector.
“We will support the implementation of this policy through our service and supervision functions in the customs field, particularly regarding exports,” Budi said in a statement on Wednesday (10/06/2026).

All export activities for these three commodities will subsequently be managed by a designated Export SOE, namely PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (PT DSI).
The implementation of this new scheme will be carried out in two main stages:
Budi Prasetito emphasised that Customs has prepared an integrated digital system through the Customs Excise Information System and Automation (CEISA) to ensure a smooth transition process. “The modernisation of this system aims to provide fast, transparent, and accountable services for service users,” he concluded.
