DSI Export Transition Process to Take Effect Tomorrow
The government has implemented a transitional period for the export of three strategic commodities—coal, iron alloy (ferroalloy), and crude palm oil (CPO)—through PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) starting Monday, 1 June 2026. Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto stated that during the transition period, exporters will be given time to adjust before full implementation on 1 January 2027.
He explained that during the transition, exporting companies must report their export activities to or through PT DSI, the state-owned enterprise (SOE) for exports.
‘The implementation will take effect tomorrow, during the transition period where export activities will proceed as usual for the respective companies,’ Airlangga said at a press conference preparing the operational launch of PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia in Jakarta on Sunday, 31 May 2026.
Company reports to the SOE for exports will be handled by the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) under the Ministry of Finance. During the transition period, the government will conduct a three-month evaluation to inform subsequent implementation phases.
The transition period is deemed sufficient preparation before full implementation in early January next year, allowing businesses, exporters, and related parties adequate time to adjust.
Transition Period (Phase I)
Runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 December 2026, with the initial three months of export evaluation conducted solely through the SOE for exports.
Existing companies and exporters continue their usual export activities but must submit reports to the SOE electronically via the DJBC’s export service system.
Export documents (Export Declaration (PEB), Customs Compliance Documents, Transaction Documents, etc.) remain in the company’s name.
Operation of the export service system (CEISA access) and reporting of DHE SDA (SIMODIS system) are still handled by the company and reported to the SOE.
Compliance with licensing requirements (Lartas) and export payment obligations (export duties, non-tax state revenue from natural resources (PNBP SDA), export levies, etc.) are managed by the company and reported to the SOE.
An evaluation of the export policy implementation will be conducted in the first three months, with results forming the basis for subsequent implementation phases.
Future implementation phases, post-evaluation, will be determined based on findings regarding readiness for the QQ scheme, where export documents, licensing compliance, and payment obligations will be handled by the company under the name ‘Company QQ SOE Export’.
Phase II
Following the transition period, export processes via PT DSI will enter Phase II from 1 January 2027. In this phase, all export activities—including transactions, contracts, customs clearance, transportation, and payment—will be fully managed by PT DSI.
