Sector oversight by Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) / BPOM; NIB is the only license needed and Emerhub files it for you.

CPOB (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification mandatory for all production facilities.
BPOM Distribution Permit (NIE) required for each product SKU.
Foreign equity in branded pharmaceuticals open up to 100%; generic drugs may have local-partner requirements.
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 21023 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedules. A foreign investor may incorporate a PT PMA with up to 100% foreign ownership and operate in this activity directly.
Foreign-investor tax benefits available for this KBLI under PMK 130/2020 (Tax Holiday) and PP 78/2019 (Tax Allowance). Both require approval — see the linked guide for the application path.
Note. Pharmaceutical manufacturing (KBLI 21xxx) is on the PP 78/2019 Tax Allowance priority list.
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.
We confirm KBLI 21023 is the right primary code for your business, advise on secondary codes you may also need, and finalize the holding structure with you before any filing.
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.
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
No specific application requirements at this scale.
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 2 candidate permits across 1 regulator; most operations only need a handful. Emerhub maps your operation to the exact set, files them, and tracks renewals.
Ministry of Agriculture. Applies if you produce, import, distribute, or sell animal medicines, vaccines, or feed; if you breed livestock; or if you operate a veterinary practice. A "veterinary control number" (NKV) is the entry-point permit for animal-product processors.
We file the OSS application with KBLI 21023 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 self-declare compliance with applicable standards via OSS, which generates the Sertifikat Standar. Operating commercially with NIB alone is not legally compliant at this risk level. We prepare the application bundle, liaise with the competent ministry, and chase issuance through to the certificate. Statutory turnaround: set by ministry — 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 21023 (Traditional Medicine Products for Animals) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for traditional medicine product industry for animals. It sits within Manufacturing Industry under the subgroup Traditional Medicine Industry (major group 21) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in traditional medicine product industry for animals 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 21023 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 21023 (Traditional Medicine Products for Animals) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for traditional medicine product industry for animals. It sits within the Manufacturing Industry category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).
Yes — KBLI 21023 is fully open to foreign investment. A PT PMA may operate with up to 100% foreign ownership, subject to BKPM Reg. 5/2025 capital requirements (IDR 2.5 billion paid-up + IDR 10 billion+ commitment per KBLI).
KBLI 21023's risk levels per business scale: Micro Medium-Low, Small Medium-Low, Medium Medium-Low, Large Medium-Low. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale.
NIB + self-declared Standard Certificate (Sertifikat Standar). KBLI 21023 is Medium-Low risk at Large scale, so the investor declares compliance with the applicable technical standard at NIB issuance. No government pre-audit, but the declaration is binding and can trigger a post-audit. 2 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 end-to-end: AHU registration, NIB via OSS, bank account opening. KBLI-specific licensing depends on the permit instrument required.
Yes — KBLI 21023 is on the Tax Allowance priority list (PP 78/2019). Eligible for 30% reduction of taxable net income over 6 years plus accelerated depreciation.
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 21023 carries 2 PB UMKU permits across 1 sector regulator: Veterinary & Animal Medicine (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.
KBLIs in the same subgroup 2102: 21021 (Traditional Medicine Raw Material Industry for Humans); 21022 (Traditional Medicine Product Industry for Humans); 21024 (Raw Materials Industry for Traditional Medicine (for Animals)). These are closely related activities — see the related-codes section below for full list.
