The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources processed 1,381 requests for industrial customs exemption services in September 2026, as part of its efforts to encourage local industry and enhance its global competitiveness by granting national industrial establishments exemptions from customs duties on their imported production inputs.

In a statement, the ministry said the processed exemption requests covered 4,971 items of raw materials and 13,583 items of machinery, equipment, and spare parts. The customs exemption service is part of a package of incentives, enablers, and services provided by the industry and mining system to facilitate the journey of industrial investors at every stage, from concept to empowerment, production, and export.
