Danantara to preserve export contracts as DSI becomes sole intermediary

Danantara said existing natural resource export contracts will remain in force even as PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) becomes the sole export intermediary for the June 2026-Dec. 31, 2026 period. Danantara Chief Operating Officer Dony Oskaria said the new scheme would not change company contracts as long as no under invoicing or transfer pricing practices are found. The government is preparing a digital system to monitor transactions so they are more reasonable and transparent. According to Coordinating Economic Minister Airlangga Hartarto, starting June 1, 2026 exporters must report export activities to DSI through CEISA 4.0 run by the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. In the initial phase, the requirement applies to three commodities: coal, ferroalloy and palm oil, before a three-month review and full implementation on Jan. 1, 2027.
