Indonesia’s state-controlled tin company PT Timah has denied news reports that it may have its exports halted by new regulations that come into effect later this week.
"Tin exports are still ongoing. There is no problem with our shipment. We are now working to complete requirements to export tin before the deadline on February 23," President Director of PT Timah Thobrani Alwi told Reuters in Jakarta.
The company says it has been working with the Trade ministry and other authorities to ensure that it complies with new regulations announced in January. A shipment of 1,000 tonnes to customers in Europe, Asia and America is due to be made on February 24.
