An InfoSAWIT article explains that Malaysia's crude palm oil export tax operates under the Customs Policy Act 1967 and differs from Indonesia's CPO Support Fund levy. Malaysia has levied the tax since 1998, while Indonesia's fund, set up in 2015, finances biodiesel subsidies and replanting.
The piece is background on the policy structures.
Understanding the difference between Malaysia's export tax and Indonesia's levy helps buyers gauge relative export costs between the two largest palm producers.
