JAKARTA - Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadive officially set new rules regarding outgoing duties for gold commodities.

Referring to Article 2A of the Customs Law, the export duty policy is implemented to ensure the availability of domestic needs, preserve natural resources, anticipate a spike in the price of certain export commodities in the international market, and stabilize domestic prices.

This provision is stated in the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) Number 80 of 2025 concerning the Determination of Gold Export Goods Subjected to Exit Fees and Exit Fees.

"For export goods in the form of gold, Customs and Exit can be imposed," wrote article 2 of the regulation, quoted Thursday, December 11.

Through this policy, the government reinforces the mechanism for controlling gold exports as well as increasing state revenues and exporting duties selectively according to the types and forms of gold products exported.

In Article 3 PMK 80, Purbaya stipulates that the output fee for gold products ranges from 7.5 percent to 15 percent. The tariff determination is based on reference prices and the type of gold to be exported and the reference price is determined by the Ministry of Trade.

If the price of gold reference is in the range of 2,800 US$3,200 per troy ounce, then the output fee tariff is in the range of 7.5 percent'12.5 percent. Meanwhile, if the reference price is above 3,200 US dollars per troy ounce, the applicable rate ranges from 10 percent'15 percent.

This rule also explains that the method of calculating gold duty is carried out based on the reference price set by the Minister of Trade by referring to the reference mineral price.

The outgoing fee is calculated ad-varoremally, which is in percentage of the export price. The formula includes exit duties, number of goods, export price per unit, and exchange rate.

Export prices are determined by the Director General of Customs and Excise through the determination of the Export Patokan Price (HPE).

The implementation of outgoing duties and the term of time is adjusted to the provisions of laws and regulations in the energy sector and mineral and trade resources.

This regulation is set for November 17, 2025. Even though it was signed in November, PMK 80/2025 was only promulgated on December 9, 2025. Based on applicable regulations, this rule is effective 14 days after the date of promulgation, starting December 23, 2025.
