Ministry of Trade Finalising One-Stop Commodity Export Regulations
The Ministry of Trade (Kemendag) has stated that the Trade Ministerial Regulation (Permendag) concerning the one-stop export system through PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) is still undergoing legalisation. The government aims for the policy to be fully implemented from 1 January 2027.
Ministry of Trade’s Public Relations Chief Ni Made Kusuma Dewi said the period from 1 June to 31 December 2026 will serve as a transition phase for implementing the regulation, with DSI not yet operating fully as an export trader in the initial stage.
“As stated by the Trade Minister, full implementation of the one-stop export regulation through the state-owned export enterprise will take effect on 1 January 2027,” Dewi told Republika on Tuesday (26 May 2026).
She explained that the technical regulations for the one-stop export system are being finalised before official enactment. Kemendag will release the full regulation once legalisation is complete.
“The period from 1 June to 31 December is the transition phase. The regulation is still being processed for legalisation. It will be announced once officially enacted,” Dewi added.
Previously, Trade Minister Budi Santoso stated that Kemendag is preparing a new Permendag to regulate export mechanisms for three strategic commodities: crude palm oil (CPO), coal, and ferro alloy. The regulation is being drafted alongside the establishment of DSI as a state-owned enterprise (SOE) specialised in exports.
Budi said the technical regulations are being expedited to ensure the transition phase starts on schedule in June 2026. The government is also coordinating across relevant ministries and agencies regarding the export governance changes.
“Yes, it’s the new Permendag. It must be finished today, today. It should be completed today, at the latest tomorrow, but technically today,” Budi said at the Office of the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs in Jakarta on Thursday (21 May 2026).
During the first phase from 1 June to 31 December 2026, DSI will act as an assessor and intermediary between sellers and buyers of specific export commodities. The government considers this phase an adjustment period before full implementation of the one-stop export system.
From January 2027, DSI will transform into a trading company that purchases commodities directly from exporters, holds the goods, and bears trade risks before selling them to international markets. Foreign exchange proceeds from transactions will remain within Indonesia.
The government established DSI to strengthen oversight of strategic natural resource commodity exports. This move comes after under-invoicing and transfer pricing practices were found in export trade, which are believed to affect national revenue and the accuracy of domestic trade data.
DSI is also being positioned as a platform to monitor transparency in export transactions, including volume, pricing, and commodity shipment mechanisms. The government hopes the new governance system will enhance foreign exchange oversight and improve transparency in national natural resource trade.
