The Indonesian government is set to initiate a transitional period for the export of three crucial strategic commodities: coal, ferro alloy, and crude palm oil (CPO). This transition, managed through PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI), will commence on Monday, June 1, 2026. Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, announced that exporters would be granted this adjustment period before the policy’s full implementation on January 1, 2027.
During this interim phase, all exporting companies will be required to report their export activities to or through PT DSI, which functions as the designated state-owned export company (BUMN Export). This mandate ensures a structured approach to monitoring and facilitating the outbound trade of these vital resources.
“Implementation will begin tomorrow, marking a transitional period where export activities will proceed as usual by the respective companies,” stated Minister Airlangga during a press conference held in Jakarta on Sunday, May 31, 2026, concerning the operational readiness of PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia. This clarifies that while reporting is mandatory, daily operations for exporters will not be immediately disrupted.
The reporting mechanism from companies to the BUMN Export entity will be efficiently facilitated by the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) under the Ministry of Finance. Significantly, the government plans to conduct a thorough evaluation during the first three months of this transition. The findings from this initial assessment will serve as the crucial foundation for determining and shaping the subsequent stages of implementation, ensuring a responsive and adaptive policy framework.
This carefully planned transitional period is considered ample time for preparation before the full-scale implementation early next January. Consequently, businesses, exporters, and all relevant stakeholders are afforded sufficient opportunity to make necessary adjustments to their operations and align with the upcoming regulatory changes.
The following outlines the flow of trade transition via BUMN Export during this interim period, as elaborated by Minister Airlangga:
Masa transisi (Tahap I)
(Transition Period – Phase I)
* This phase begins on June 1, 2026, and will run until December 31, 2026. During the initial three months, export evaluations can only be conducted through the BUMN Export entity.
* Existing companies and exporters will continue their export activities as usual, but are obligated to submit reports to BUMN Export. These reports must be submitted electronically via the DJBC’s export service system.
* All export documents, including the Export Declaration (PEB), complementary customs documents, transaction documents, and others, will still be issued under the name of the exporting company.
* The operation of the export service system (access to the CEISA System) and the reporting of Natural Resources Foreign Exchange (DHE SDA) via the SIMODIS System will continue to be carried out by the individual companies, with reports subsequently submitted to BUMN Export.
* Fulfillment of licensing obligations (Lartas) and export payment obligations (such as Export Duties, Non-Tax State Revenue from Natural Resources (PNBP SDA), Export Levies, etc.) will also remain the responsibility of the exporting companies, with reports submitted to BUMN Export.
* An evaluation of this export policy’s implementation will be conducted during the first three months. The results of this evaluation will form the basis for establishing the subsequent stages of implementation.
* The subsequent implementation stages (following the evaluation) will be determined based on the evaluation results, particularly concerning the readiness for the “QQ” scheme. Under this scheme, export documents (PEB, complementary customs documents, transaction documents, etc.), as well as the fulfillment of licensing and export payment obligations, will be carried out by the company “on behalf of” (QQ) BUMN Export.
Tahap II
(Phase II)
Upon the conclusion of the transition period, the export process via PT DSI will fully enter Phase II starting January 1, 2027. In this conclusive stage, the entirety of the export process—encompassing transactions, contract management, customs clearance, transportation, and payment processing—will be comprehensively handled and executed by PT DSI.

Summary
Starting June 1, 2026, the Indonesian government will implement a transitional period for the export of coal, ferro alloy, and crude palm oil through PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI). During this phase, which lasts until December 31, 2026, companies will continue their regular export operations but are mandated to report all activities to DSI. This reporting process is facilitated by the Directorate General of Customs and Excise, with an initial evaluation scheduled after the first three months to shape subsequent policy stages.
Following the transition, a full-scale implementation will commence on January 1, 2027, where PT DSI will take over the comprehensive management of export transactions, contracts, and customs clearance. This structured approach allows stakeholders sufficient time to adjust their operations and comply with new regulatory requirements. Future implementation phases may transition to a “QQ” scheme, where export obligations are formally executed on behalf of the state-owned entity.
