Indonesian coal exporters face second regulatory hurdle

Indonesian thermal coal exporters are now required to produce a certificate clearing the miner to produce coal before they ship material overseas, a government official said.

The latest move is the second regulatory obstacle encountered by Indonesian coal exporters this year.

Last month, several coal shipments were delayed due to the strict enforcement of a regulation requiring exporters to produce a IUP-OPK license, which allows them to trade and transport coal.
