Starting in 2027, coal, palm oil and ferroalloy exports via PT DSI

The government has introduced a new framework for exports of strategic natural resource commodities, requiring coal, palm oil and ferroalloy shipments to go through PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia by Jan. 1, 2027 at the latest. The rule will first take effect during a transition period from June 1-Dec. 31, 2026, allowing exporters to continue using existing permits while submitting export reports and documents to PT DSI. The policy is set out in PP Nomor 24 Tahun 2026 and three Permendag regulations, namely Nomor 15, 16 and 17 Tahun 2026. The government also has revised DHE SDA under PP Nomor 21 Tahun 2026, including a requirement to place export proceeds in the domestic financial system. Bea Cukai said it will support oversight and customs services, while implementation of the export rules will be reviewed every three months during the transition.
