Foreign Investor FeasibilityKBLI 11052
§ 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 11052 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.

Licensing requirements in detail
Specific permits, application requirements and ongoing obligations vary by business scale and the sub-activity within this KBLI. We file these on your behalf — this section is for transparency on what we'll be handling. Switch between scales below; by default we show Large (the PMA scale).
What's required to operate
NIB
Preparation only — additional permit needed below
Standard Certificate (Verified)
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. The verification step typically requires a site or document inspection. Operating with NIB alone is not legally compliant.

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 1 candidate permit across 1 regulator; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.
Health & Medical Devices
1 permitMinistry of Health (Kemenkes / BPOM). Applies to manufacturing, importing, distributing, or operating medical devices, hospitals, clinics, diagnostic services, and pharmacies. Most device permits are class-based (Class A/B/C/D); facility permits attach to the specific site.
