OSS has not published a regulatory profile for KBLI 03110 yet.
This is a new KBLI 2025 code. Indonesia's OSS portal still operates on KBLI 2020 and there is no automatic mapping to a 2020 predecessor for this activity. The risk level, permits, and obligations have not been finalised in the public OSS database.
The absence of data is not evidence the activity is unregulated.
Many of Indonesia's most heavily regulated activities — including construction of military facilities, airports, defence equipment, banking infrastructure, hospital facilities, and critical utilities — are subject to substantial extra-OSS licensing through sector ministries (Defence, Transport, Health, OJK, Bank Indonesia). The OSS Standard Certificate or Operating License is just one layer.
- ·NIB registration (we obtain through OSS — universal, instant)
- ·Sector-specific operating license — see industry guidance below
- ·PT PMA paid-up capital IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) at incorporation, plus IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI realised over time (BKPM Reg. 5/2025)
- ·Quarterly LKPM reporting to BKPM (we file on your behalf as part of compliance)
Foreign investment rules
Indonesia's BUPM (Investment Business Fields) regulation places this code into one of five tracks. The track determines whether a foreign investor (PMA) can operate in this activity at all, and under what conditions.
Foreign investment status not yet verifiable
Indonesia's BUPM Investment Business Fields list (Pres. Reg. 10/2021) is published against KBLI 2020 codes. KBLI 03110 is a new KBLI 2025 entry without a recorded 2020 predecessor, so the absence of this code from the closed / conditional / SME-reserved / partnership lists does not prove the activity is open to foreign investment. We can secure written confirmation from BKPM and the sector ministry on your specific business plan before any incorporation step.
What is KBLI 03110?
A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.
KBLI 03110 (PENANGKAPAN IKAN DAN BIOTA AIR LAINNYA DI LAUT) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for catching fish and other aquatic life in the sea. It sits within Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries under the subgroup Catching Fish and Other Aquatic Life in the Sea in the official KBLI 2025 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Who needs KBLI 03110?
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in catching fish and other aquatic life in the sea as a primary or secondary business activity must select this code on its NIB (Business Identification Number). The selected code determines the licensing instruments required, the issuing authority, and the ongoing compliance obligations.
Why does the code matter?
Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach uses the KBLI code to determine three things: (1) whether foreign investment is permitted and at what cap, (2) the risk-based licensing instruments required, and (3) the authority that issues each instrument. Choosing the wrong code can delay or invalidate your license.
Fisheries & aquaculture-specific guidance
Sector context that applies to KBLI 03110 beyond the generic OSS process. Verify with the relevant ministry before committing capital.
- ·Fishing vessels need a SIPI (fishing license) and a SIKPI (catch transport license).
- ·Operating in Indonesian EEZ requires a domestic vessel registration; PMA-flagged vessels are not permitted.
- ·CITES Appendix I species are absolutely prohibited from capture and trade.
Under the upcoming KBLI 2025
Indonesia's BPS published the new KBLI 2025 taxonomy in early 2025. OSS, BKPM and the operating ministries have not yet adopted it — KBLI 2020 remains the active standard for business registration. This is what's coming for this specific code.
New code introduced in KBLI 2025
KBLI 03110 did not exist in the previous (KBLI 2020) taxonomy — it was added in the 2025 release to capture an activity that was previously bundled with another code or had no dedicated classification.
- ·Not yet usable for OSS registration. OSS, BKPM and operating ministries still operate on KBLI 2020 — this code isn't selectable in OSS until the cutover.
- ·For current registrations covering this activity, we identify the closest KBLI 2020 code that matches your business and register under that. When KBLI 2025 goes live we'll migrate your entity to 03110.
- ·The migration is a procedural update — no re-registration, no operational interruption. We handle it as part of ongoing compliance.
When OSS adopts KBLI 2025, we'll migrate your existing entity to the appropriate successor code as part of ongoing compliance — no action needed on your end now.

This is a new KBLI 2025 code that OSS hasn't fully adopted yet. The actual licensing requirements depend on a sector-by-sector confirmation with the relevant ministry and BKPM. We'll source the official position before you incorporate — saving months of false starts.
