Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Trade Ministry simplified exports of palm oil and derivative products by revoking Trade Ministerial Regulation No. 54 of 2015 on Verification/Technical Tracking of Palm Oil, Crude Palm Oil (CPO), and Derivative Products’ Exports.
“In addition to increasing effectiveness, the revocation of Trade Ministerial Decree also aims to implement the results of a decision taken during the economic coordination meeting at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs some time ago,” Director General of Foreign Trade Oke Nurwan noted in his statement in Jakarta on Monday.
This revocation of the ministerial decree is contained in the Trade Ministerial Decree Number 17 of 2019 concerning Revocation of Minister of Trade Regulation Number 54/M-Dag/Per/7/2015 concerning Verification or Technical Search of the Exports of Palm Oil, CPO, and Derivative Products.

Earlier, according to Minister of Trade Regulation Number 54 of 2015, the Trade Ministerial Decree Number 90 of 2015, every export of palm oil, CPO, and derivative products was required to be verified or technically tracked by surveyors before loading goods.
Verification by surveyors includes administrative and physical verification, determination of types and technical specifications and quality of goods through laboratory analysis.
