To obtain an exemption from the export ban, exporters must submit a request to the Directorate General of Foreign Trade through http://inatrade.kemendag.go.id.
Actions to consider
Relevant business actors should consider the following:
- They will need to ensure that their export activities do not violate the new regulations.
- The temporary export ban might prevent companies in Indonesia supplying their products to affiliated companies in other countries, and might affect/hamper the global/regional supply chain.
- Impacted business actors might need to conduct restructuring of their global/regional supply
