Exploiters are those who export, be it individuals, institutions, or business entities or companies.

Exports and imports are part of international trade activities. Export activities of goods are carried out by business actors who have been registered and designated as exporters, unless otherwise determined by the minister. Exporters have full responsibility for exported products or goods.

There are two types of exporters, namely producer exporters and not producers. The producer exporter is an exporter who also produces the goods sent. Meanwhile, exporters who are not producers are exporters who send goods belonging to people or other companies.

In the Republic of Indonesia Law, it has been regulated that export and import activities must have a permit, it could be in the form of registration, approval, recognition, and determination. The granting of permits can be delegated from the minister to the Regional Government.
