KBLI 10217: Fish Chilling/Chilling Industry

KBLI 10217: Fish Chilling/Chilling Industry · Open to PMA

§ 01

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.

Status · open

Open under BUPM (subject to sector rules)

KBLI 10217 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved, or partnership-required schedules under BUPM (Pres. Reg. 10/2021). A foreign investor can incorporate a PT PMA under this code, but sector regulators (PSE/Kominfo, BPOM, OJK, Kemenkes, Permendag, ESDM) almost always add licensing and capital requirements on top — the practical answer depends on your specific business model.

This KBLI is open under BUPM (Pres. Reg. 10/2021) — it's not on any restricted, closed, SME-reserved, or partnership-required schedule. That's the BUPM verdict only, not a complete sector-readiness check: sector regulators almost always add requirements on top (PSE/Kominfo for digital platforms, BPOM for food and cosmetics, OJK for financial, Kemenkes for healthcare, Permendag for retail, ESDM for energy). BKPM's default capital floor is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up with IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI, but sector regulators frequently set higher minimums for specific activities. The practical answer depends on your business model — confirm with our team before committing capital.

§ 02

Halal certification

Indonesia requires BPJPH Halal certification for an expanding range of consumer-product categories. This KBLI's activities fall in scope — see what's required and when.

BPJPH certification required

Halal certification is mandatory for food & beverage products.

Enforceable since October 2024

Under UU 33/2014, every food and beverage product entering the Indonesian market must carry a BPJPH Halal certificate. The scope covers raw materials, processing aids, packaging in contact with the product, and the full supply chain. We coordinate the LPPOM-MUI audit and BPJPH filing — typically a 4-6 month process for first-time certification.

01
Audit & gap analysis
Review your formulation, supply chain, and facility against BPJPH criteria. Identify ingredients or processes that need swapping.
02
LPH inspection
An accredited Halal Inspection Body (LPPOM-MUI is the largest) audits the facility and reviews documentation.
03
BPJPH issuance
The Halal certificate is issued under the BPJPH register and the Halal label can be applied to packaging.

Halal certification is a core Emerhub service. We've handled BPJPH projects for foreign-brand food, cosmetics, and pharma operators across Indonesia — including supply-chain re-sourcing where needed. Bundle it with your PT PMA setup and we coordinate both timelines.

Important: NIB is issued for the preparation stage. To begin commercial operations, the operator must obtain a Sertifikat Standar that has been verified by the competent ministry.

Auxiliary permits (PB UMKU)

PB UMKU permits sit on top of the main NIB and Sertifikat Standar — each is issued by a different ministry, and only when a specific operational activity is performed. This KBLI carries 4 candidate permits across 2 regulators; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.

Marine & Fisheries

2 permits

Ministry of Marine Affairs & Fisheries (KKP). Applies to capture fishing, aquaculture, fish processing, fish-feed production, and live-fish trade. The Processing Feasibility Certificate (SKP) is the gating quality permit for fish processors.

Pharmaceuticals

2 permits

BPOM (National Agency of Drug & Food Control). Applies to drugs, processed food, traditional medicine, cosmetics, and health supplements — produced, imported, repackaged, or distributed for human consumption. BPOM is the gating regulator; product registration is required before any commercial sale.

Common questions about KBLI 10217

What is KBLI 10217?

KBLI 10217 (Industri Pendinginan/Pengesan Ikan) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for fish chilling/chilling industry. It sits within the Manufacturing Industry category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).

Can foreign investors operate under KBLI 10217?

KBLI 10217 is open to PT PMA under BUPM (Pres. Reg. 10/2021) — it is not on the closed, conditional, SME-reserved, or partnership-required schedules. That is the BUPM verdict only: sector regulators (PSE/Kominfo for digital platforms, BPOM for food and cosmetics, OJK for financial, Kemenkes for healthcare, Permendag for retail, ESDM for energy) commonly add licensing and capital requirements on top depending on the specific business model. Confirm the practical setup with our team before committing capital.

What is the risk level of KBLI 10217?

KBLI 10217's risk levels per business scale: Micro Medium-Low, Small Medium-Low, Medium Medium-High, Large Medium-High. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.

What licenses does KBLI 10217 require?

NIB + verified Standard Certificate (Sertifikat Standar Terverifikasi). KBLI 10217 is Medium-High risk at Large scale, so NIB is issued first, but the Standard Certificate becomes effective only after the issuing ministry verifies compliance (typically through a document review or site audit). On top of that, halal certification from BPJPH is mandatory under UU 33/2014 (Enforceable since October 2024). Emerhub files the BPJPH application and coordinates the LPH audit on your behalf. 4 sector-specific PB UMKU permits also apply depending on the exact activity. See the requirements summary at the top of the page.

What is the minimum capital for a PT PMA under KBLI 10217?

BKPM Reg. 5/2025's default floor is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up capital at incorporation + IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI registered (realised over time and reported quarterly via LKPM). Sector regulators (OJK for financial, ESDM for energy, Kemenkes for healthcare, BPOM for food and cosmetics, Permendag for retail, Kominfo for digital platforms) often set higher minimums for specific activities — the binding figure depends on what you actually plan to operate, so confirm with our team before committing capital.

How long does it take to register a business under KBLI 10217?

PT PMA setup typically takes 4-8 weeks: AHU registration (1-2 weeks), NIB issuance via OSS (immediate to 1 week), bank account opening (2-4 weeks). The licensing cycle for KBLI 10217 specifically takes 5 days at the Large business scale.

Is KBLI 10217 eligible for Indonesian tax incentives?

Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 10217 businesses pay the standard 22% PPh Badan; Super Tax Deduction (300% R&D / 200% vocational training) may still apply for qualifying expenses.

Which authority issues the KBLI 10217 license?

Authority depends on the investor profile. For PMA: Minister/Head of Agency. For domestic SME scale: typically Governor (for Provincial scope) or Regent/Mayor (Regency/City scope). Specific mapping is in §1 of this page.

What other permits beyond the NIB does KBLI 10217 need?

Beyond the NIB, KBLI 10217 carries 4 PB UMKU permits across 2 sector regulators: Marine & Fisheries (2), Pharmaceuticals (2). Most operations only need 2-4 of these — the relevant set depends on which specific activities you actually perform; Emerhub maps the right subset before filing.

What KBLI codes are similar to 10217?

KBLIs in the same subgroup 1021: 10211 (Fish Salting/Drying Industry); 10212 (Fish Smoking/Grilling Industry); 10213 (Fish Freezing Industry); 10214 (Fish Canning Industry); 10215 (Fish Fermentation Industry).
