FLASH: Indonesian nickel industry forum (FINI) confirms both FeNi and NPI to be included in DSI export oversight

On November 6, 2026, Arif Perdana Kusumah, Chairman of the Indonesian Nickel Industry Forum (FINI), confirmed that the ferro alloy products subject to export oversight by PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI) will explicitly include ferronickel (FeNi) and nickel pig iron (NPI). Although NPI is not technically a ferro alloy, Indonesia's HS codes classify both FeNi and NPI similarly (HS 7201/7202). Therefore, from a trade regulation perspective, both NPI and FeNi will be subject to DSI governance. This means all mainstream Indonesian nickel processing products (including FeNi and NPI) will face unified DSI oversight regarding export procedures, pricing, and potential export service fees.
