Hazardous chemicals (B3) require KLHK environmental permits in addition to OSS.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing requires CPOB (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification from BPOM.
Most basic and intermediate chemicals are open to 100% PMA.
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.
KBLI 20294 is open to investment but the operating entity must form a mandatory partnership with cooperatives or Indonesian UMKM. The structure and terms of the partnership are listed below.
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.
Under PP 39/2021, cosmetics, personal-care, and household-chemical products entering the Indonesian market must be Halal-certified by October 2026. Foreign-brand cosmetics need to be ready ahead of that — covering raw materials (including sourcing), formulation, manufacturing facilities, and packaging. Plan 4-6 months for the BPJPH process; we manage it end-to-end alongside BPOM cosmetic registration.
Review your formulation, supply chain, and facility against BPJPH criteria. Identify ingredients or processes that need swapping.
An accredited Halal Inspection Body (LPPOM-MUI is the largest) audits the facility and reviews documentation.
The Halal certificate is issued under the BPJPH register and the Halal label can be applied to packaging.
Emerhub is a corporate-services provider in Indonesia. We do the legal and regulatory legwork for foreign investors so you can focus on the business itself. Here's what the engagement looks like.
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).
Documents and capabilities you must demonstrate at registration
Compliance and reporting duties throughout operation
The authority that issues the license depends on your situation.
| Authority | Applies when |
|---|---|
| Minister/Head of Agency | The industrial location is situated within a cross-border area between provinces. |
| Minister/Head of Agency | Foreign Investment |
| Governor | The industrial location is in the relevant province. |
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 10 candidate permits across 1 regulator; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.
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.
KBLI 20294 requires a mandatory partnership with cooperatives or Indonesian UMKM. We help identify, vet, and contract with qualifying partners — and structure the partnership so it satisfies the regulator without hollowing out your economics.
We draft the Articles of Association before a notary, register the entity with the Ministry of Law & Human Rights (Kemenkumham), and obtain the company's tax ID (NPWP). Under BKPM Reg. 5/2025, paid-up capital is IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) — the cash actually deposited at incorporation. The IDR 10 billion+ figure many sources still cite is the total investment commitment per KBLI, realised over time via your LKPM reports.
We file the OSS application with KBLI 20294 as your primary business activity, complete the risk-based assessment, and collect the NIB (Business Identification Number) for you — typically within hours of submission. You don't need to touch the OSS portal.
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. We prepare the application bundle, liaise with the competent ministry, and chase issuance through to the certificate. Statutory turnaround: 7 business days — real-world timing typically runs longer when site inspections or additional clarifications are requested.
Post-launch we run your monthly tax filings, quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Reports), annual general meeting (RUPS), and any sector-specific reporting. You get a single point of contact and a monthly compliance digest — no Indonesian-language paperwork on your desk.
A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.
KBLI 20294 (Industri Minyak Atsiri) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for essential oil industry. It sits within Manufacturing Industry under the subgroup Other Chemical Products Industry, N.E.C (major group 20) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in essential oil industry 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.
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.
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.
KBLI 20294 retains the same code number and scope in the new taxonomy. The activity description, hierarchy, and intended use of the code are preserved.
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.
Talk to a specialistIndonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach assigns a separate risk level for each of the four business scales. The licensing instruments required (NIB, Standard Certificate, Operating License) are determined by the risk level. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale, so the rightmost column applies to most foreign investors.
KBLI 20294 (Industri Minyak Atsiri) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for essential oil industry. It sits within the Manufacturing Industry category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).
Yes, but mandatory partnership with cooperatives or Indonesian UMKM is required under Pres. Reg. 10/2021.
KBLI 20294's risk levels per business scale: Micro Low, Small Low, Medium Medium-Low, Large Medium-High. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.
NIB + verified Standard Certificate (Sertifikat Standar Terverifikasi). KBLI 20294 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 (Mandatory by October 2026). Emerhub files the BPJPH application and coordinates the LPH audit on your behalf. 10 sector-specific PB UMKU permits also apply depending on the exact activity. See the requirements summary at the top of the page.
BKPM Reg. 5/2025 default applies: IDR 2.5 billion paid-up capital at incorporation + IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI registered, realized over time and reported quarterly via LKPM.
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 20294 specifically takes 7 days at the Large business scale.
Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 20294 businesses pay the standard 22% PPh Badan; Super Tax Deduction (300% R&D / 200% vocational training) may still apply for qualifying expenses.
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.
Beyond the NIB, KBLI 20294 carries 10 PB UMKU permits across 1 sector regulator: Pharmaceuticals (10). 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.
KBLIs in the same subgroup 2029: 20291 (Adhesive/Glue Industry); 20292 (Explosives Industry); 20293 (Ink Industry); 20295 (Matchstick Industry); 20296 (Intermediate Chain Essential Oil Industry). These are closely related activities — see the related-codes section below for full list.
