The weighing area is also where concentrate samples are taken to undergo metals content analysis by the surveyor Sucofindo, which was appointed by the Trade Ministry. Elsewhere, the Customs and Excise Agency oversees the concentrate shipping process and ascertains all aspects of state revenue. The dry concentrate is then loaded aboard ocean vessels that will sail to smelter destinations in various countries in Asia, Spain, including to PT Smelting Gresik in East Java that was established by Freeport Indonesia.
