KBLI 10218 (PENGOLAHAN DAN PENGAWETAN IKAN MENJADI PRODUK OLAHAN) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for processing and preserving fish into processed products. It sits within the Industry category in the official KBLI 2025 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).

Can foreign investors operate under KBLI 10218?

Not in practice. KBLI 10218 is not on Pres. Reg. 10/2021's closed list, but OSS RBA only defines licensing rules at the Micro and Small business scales for this activity — there is no Large-scale matrix. Foreign-owned PT PMA must register at the Large scale, so this code isn't structurally available to foreign investors. PT lokal (100% Indonesian-owned) at the Micro / Small scale can operate freely.

What is the risk level of KBLI 10218?

KBLI 10218 has no Large-scale licensing matrix in OSS — it's structured for Micro and Small business scales only. PT PMA cannot register under this code as a result.

What licenses does KBLI 10218 require?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 10218 is not viable for foreign-owned entities (closed, SME-reserved, domestic-only, or no Large-scale licensing matrix in OSS RBA, depending on the case). Foreign investors should pick a related KBLI that is open at the Large scale.

What is the minimum capital for a PT PMA under KBLI 10218?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 10218 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so neither BKPM Reg. 5/2025's paid-up minimum nor any sector-specific capital floor enters the picture. The structural barrier comes first.

How long does it take to register a business under KBLI 10218?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 10218 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so the 4-8 week PT PMA setup timeline doesn't apply. Move to a sibling code with a Large-scale matrix or a different structure.

Is KBLI 10218 eligible for Indonesian tax incentives?

Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 10218 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 10218 license?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 10218 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so OSS doesn't designate a PMA issuing authority. Smaller-scale registrations (Micro / Small) for Indonesian operators are typically issued at the Regency / City level.

What other permits beyond the NIB does KBLI 10218 need?

Beyond the NIB, no specific auxiliary permits (PB UMKU) are recorded for KBLI 10218. Sector-specific obligations may still apply — verify with the relevant ministry.

What KBLI codes are similar to 10218?

KBLIs in the same subgroup 1021: 10211 (Fish Processing and Preservation by Salting); 10212 (Fish Processing and Preservation by Smoking); 10213 (Fish Processing and Preservation by Freezing); 10214 (Fish Processing and Preservation by Scanning); 10215 (Fish Processing and Preservation by Fermentation). These are closely related activities — see the related-codes section below for full list.

Limited regulatory data

OSS has not published a regulatory profile for KBLI 10218 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.

What likely applies even without OSS data

·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)

§ 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 · Unverified

Foreign investment status not yet verifiable

Indonesia's BUPM Investment Business Fields list (Pres. Reg. 10/2021) is published against KBLI 2020 codes. KBLI 10218 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.

Indonesia's BUPM Investment Business Fields list (Pres. Reg. 10/2021) was published against KBLI 2020 codes. Because KBLI 10218 is a brand-new KBLI 2025 entry without a recorded 2020 predecessor, we cannot confirm whether this activity is open, restricted, or reserved. Talk to us before incorporating — we'll get a written confirmation of eligibility from BKPM and the sector ministry.

§ 02

Food manufacturing-specific guidance

Sector context that applies to KBLI 10218 beyond the generic OSS process. Verify with the relevant ministry before committing capital.

Lead regulator

Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) / BPOM

·BPOM Distribution Permit (NIE) required for any consumer-facing food product.
·Halal certification mandatory since October 2024 for most food products (BPJPH).
·GMP / HACCP audits required for production facilities.
·Some sub-sectors (sugar, salt) have additional licensing under Ministry of Trade.

§ 03

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.

This is a new KBLI 2025 code that OSS hasn't fully adopted yet. Licensing depends on sector-by-sector confirmation with the ministry and BKPM — we'll source the official position before you incorporate, saving months of false starts.
