According to the latest data from Indonesia's Ministry of Trade, Indonesia's total refined tin exports in December 2025 reached 5,002.83 tons, down 32.9% MoM but up 6.8% YoY. The total export value was $198.09 million, down 26.1% MoM but up 46.7% YoY.

Major export destinations showed divergence:

- Singapore: 1,399.5 tons, down 17% MoM;

- South Korea: 902.46 tons, down 53% MoM;

- China: 677.3 tons, up 17.6% MoM;

If quota issuance is delayed or tightened, it may further impact the global tin supply chain.
