Pelindo Regional 2 Tanjung Priok voiced support for law enforcement efforts targeting alleged violations in the export of crude palm oil (CPO) derivatives, following a joint operation by Indonesia’s Ministry of Finance and the National Police.
The announcement was made at a press conference held by the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) and the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP), alongside the Special Task Force for Optimizing State Revenue (Satgassus OPN), at PT Multi Terminal Indonesia, Common Gate NPCT 1, Tanjung Priok Port.
Officials said the operation uncovered alleged irregularities involving 87 containers of CPO derivative products exported by one company. The findings, they said, underscore the government’s push to tighten oversight of export and import activities and safeguard state revenues.
Authorities are continuing their investigation to verify data accuracy and ensure compliance with export regulations. The Ministry of Finance is also examining potential customs violations in another 200 containers, weighing a total of 4,700 tonnes, of similar commodities.
Yandri Tri Saputra, Executive General Manager of Pelindo Regional 2 Tanjung Priok, said the company fully supports the enforcement efforts to ensure transparency and integrity in the national logistics system.
“Synergy between law enforcement agencies, government institutions, and port operators is essential to building a safe, orderly, and integrated port ecosystem,” Yandri said.
The government has stepped up scrutiny of CPO exports amid broader efforts to curb illicit trade and secure state revenues from the palm oil industry, one of Indonesia’s key foreign exchange earners.
