On 14 July 2015, the Indonesian Minister of Trade issued a new regulation 54/M-DAG/PER/7/2015 replacing the initial provisions. The amendment included an expanded list of requirements for exporters such as having sufficient IT systems, 10 laboratories with complete equipment (at least 5 of them nationally certified) and providing a good track record in the verification process.
On 22 October 2015, the Ministry passed regulation 90/M-DAG/PER/10/2015 slightly updating the export restrictions. The amendment did not include any relevant changes.
On 28 February 2019, the Indonesian Ministry of Trade published regulation 17/2019 revoking the previous regulation by 7 March 2019.

Given that de facto export controls on crude palm oil have not been fully lifted, this intervention continues to be in force.
