Customs foiled illegal gold exports worth Rp61.9 billion in October.

The Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) of the Indonesian Ministry of Finance successfully intercepted an illegal gold export attempt valued at Rp61.9 billion during the month of October. The operation was part of ongoing efforts by customs authorities to curb illicit trade activities involving precious metals.
