Most modern retail (supermarkets, department stores) is open to PMA above a minimum store-area threshold (typically 1,200 m² for hypermarkets, 400 m² for supermarkets).
Traditional retail and small-scale retail (kaki lima, los pasar) are reserved for SMEs.
Retail of alcoholic beverages is highly restricted and monitored separately.
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 47842 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.
BKPM-reported foreign investment context for the broader sector this KBLI sits in. Data is aggregated at the major-sector level — BKPM does not publish per-5-digit-KBLI breakdowns publicly.
E-commerce (Tokopedia, Bukalapak, Shopee, Tiktok Shop) and modern-format retail (Ranch Market, Lotte Mart) drive most foreign-owned activity. Traditional and small-format retail remain reserved for Indonesian SMEs.
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 47842 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 |
|---|---|
| Regent/Mayor | All |
| Minister/Head of Agency | Foreign Investment |
We file the OSS application with KBLI 47842 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.

KBLI 47842 (Perdagangan Eceran Kaki Lima Dan Los Pasar Farmasi) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for retail trade of street vendors and pharmaceutical market stalls. It sits within Wholesale and Retail Trade; Repair and Maintenance of Cars and Motorcycles under the subgroup Retail trade in street vendors and stalls for chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and similar products. (major group 47) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in retail trade of street vendors and pharmaceutical market stalls 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 47842 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.
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.

Yes — KBLI 47842 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 47842'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 47842 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.
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.
Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 47842 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: Regent/Mayor. 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, no specific auxiliary permits (PB UMKU) are recorded for KBLI 47842. Sector-specific obligations may still apply — verify with the relevant ministry.
