KBLI 26792 (Industri Teropong Dan Instrumen Optik Bukan Kaca Mata) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for binoculars and optical instruments, excluding eyeglasses industry. It sits within Manufacturing Industry under the subgroup Other Photographic Equipment and Optical Instrument Industry. (major group 26) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
This group includes the manufacturing of telescopes and optical instruments as well as their parts for scientific purposes and printing, such as monocular telescopes, astronomical telescopes, elbow telescopes, periscopes, optics, spectroscopes, spectrographs, coated polished lenses, and prism lenses. It also includes optical microscopes, binoculars and telescopes, optical mirrors, optical magnifying equipment, precision optical machinist tools, optical comparators, optical sighting equipment, optical positioning equipment, and optical measurement and inspection instruments (for example, fire control equipment, distance measuring devices) and laser equipment. This group also encompasses the coating industry, lens polishing, and lens mounting (non-ophthalmic) and others.
Who needs KBLI 26792?
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in binoculars and optical instruments, excluding eyeglasses 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.
Why does the code matter?
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.
