Indonesia probes possible illegal nickel ore exports to China
Indonesian officials are investigating whether there have been illegal nickel ore shipments to China, more than three years after Jakarta banned exports of the commodity, its mining minister said on 7 July.
Indonesia, the world's biggest nickel ore producer, had stopped exports of the material since the beginning of 2020 to reserve raw material supply for its domestic stainless steel and battery-grade nickel production. However, data from China's customs office showed the country still imported nickel ore from Indonesia after the ban - 5.56-million metric tons between 2020 and May 2023.
Indonesia's customs office and the mining ministry are looking into possible illegal exports of the ore, Arifin Tasrif, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister said. He said investigators were looking into the possibility of discrepancy in the categorisation of products reported by exporters, among other potential cause.
