Indonesia's Export and Customs Revenue Show Strong Growth

Quarantine Commodity Exports Near Last Year's Total

Indonesia's export value of quarantine commodities has reached Rp 393.2 trillion by 17 December 2025, according to the Indonesian Quarantine Agency (Barantin) ¹

. This figure is close to the total export value recorded last year, which was Rp 396.1 trillion. Barantin's head, Sahat Manaor Panggabean, expressed optimism that the final figure for 2025 could match or come very close to last year's total, with only about Rp 3 trillion remaining to be recorded by year-end.

Customs and Excise Revenue Exceeds Expectations

The Ministry of Finance reported that customs and excise revenue had reached Rp 269.4 trillion by November 2025, representing 89.3% of the 2025 budget target ²

. This revenue figure also marked a 4.5% increase compared to the same period last year. A significant contributor to this growth was the 52.2% year-on-year surge in export duties, which totaled Rp 26.3 trillion by November 2025. To put this into perspective, the export duty collection was nearly six times the target set in the 2025 State Budget (APBN), which was around Rp 4 trillion.

Key Drivers of Revenue Growth

The strong performance in customs revenue was primarily driven by the significant increase in export duties. According to Suahasil Nazara, Deputy Minister of Finance, the robust export activities and higher commodity prices contributed to this exceptional growth. The government's efforts to enhance trade facilitation while maintaining effective customs supervision have also played a crucial role in achieving these results.

Outlook for 2026

The positive performance in both export values and customs revenue through 2025 sets a promising foundation for 2026. The government is likely to build on this momentum by continuing to implement policies that support export growth and improve customs administration. Stakeholders in the trade and finance sectors will be watching closely to see how these trends develop in the coming year.
