Key facts for KBLI 46900

The essentials a foreign investor needs to know before reading the rest of this page.

  • 100% foreign ownership permitted via PT PMA. KBLI 46900 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedules under Pres. Reg. 10/2021.

  • Default minimum paid-up capital: IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) under BKPM Reg. 5/2025 (effective Oct 2025) — applies unless a sector regulator sets a higher figure for this activity. The often-cited IDR 10 billion is the total investment commitment per KBLI realised over time via quarterly LKPM reports, not required upfront.

  • Low-risk activity — NIB alone is sufficient for both preparation and commercial operation. The Business Identification Number is issued instantly through OSS.

  • Issuing authority for PMA: Regent/Mayor — this KBLI is routed centrally rather than to provincial / regency level.

  • Ongoing reporting: quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Report) to BKPM plus 6 sector-specific obligations. We file these on your behalf as part of monthly compliance — you stay out of the OSS portal entirely.

§ 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

Fully open to foreign investment

KBLI 46900 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.

This KBLI is not listed in any restricted, closed, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedule under Pres. Reg. 10/2021 (as amended). A 100% foreign-owned PT PMA may operate in this activity, subject to the licensing requirements shown below. BKPM's default minimum capital is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up with IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI realised over time, but sector regulators (OJK, ESDM, BPOM, Kominfo, etc.) can set higher minimums for specific activities — we confirm the actual figure before incorporation.

What is KBLI 46900?

A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.

KBLI 46900 (Perdagangan Besar Berbagai Macam Barang) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for wholesale trade of various goods. It sits within Wholesale and Retail Trade; Repair and Maintenance of Cars and Motorcycles under the subgroup Wholesale Trade of Various Goods (major group 46) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).

This group includes wholesale trade of various goods without specializing in specific items (without any particular specialization), including distribution.

Who needs KBLI 46900?

Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in wholesale trade of various goods 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.

Under the upcoming KBLI 2025

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.

Reorganised in KBLI 2025

KBLI 46900 does not carry the same number forward into KBLI 2025 — the activity has been reclassified, but the precise mapping isn't recorded in our database yet.

  • ·For current operations, KBLI 46900 remains valid — OSS still uses KBLI 2020 for all business registrations.
  • ·The KBLI 2025 successor codes are listed in the official BPS transition document below; check for the activity-specific mapping when planning future structures.
  • ·Once OSS announces the KBLI 2025 cutover, existing entities will need to update their primary KBLI to the relevant successor — typically straightforward.

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.

Risk level by business scale

Indonesia'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.

01

Micro

Usaha Mikro
≤ IDR 2 B turnover
Low risk
NIB alone is sufficient for commercial operation.
02

Small

What does each risk level require to operate? ›
Low. NIB alone is sufficient for both preparation and commercial operation. Issued instantly via OSS.
Medium-Low. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a self-declared Sertifikat Standar (Standard Certificate). Operating with NIB alone is not legally compliant.
Medium-High. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a Sertifikat Standar verified by the competent ministry — typically with a site or document inspection.
High. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a full Operating License (Izin) issued by the competent ministry after substantive review.
Beyond OSS, sector-specific permits commonly apply on top — e.g. SBU for construction, BPOM for food/cosmetics/medicines, OJK for financial services, IUP for mining, PSE for digital services. See the industry-specific guidance below for what applies to this KBLI.
