KBLI 47844: Retail Trade of Street Vendors and Cosmet… · Open to PMA

§ 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 · No foreign ownership

Reserved for small Indonesian operators

KBLI 47844 is set up for warungs, smallholders, individual practitioners and similar small businesses — Indonesia's licensing rules only define micro and small business sizes for it. Foreign-owned companies have to register at the Large business size, so even though this code isn't on the official "closed" list, foreign ownership isn't possible in practice. Pick a related KBLI that covers larger operations, or set up a partnership with an Indonesian operator who already holds the licence.

This activity is reserved for small Indonesian operators — think warungs, food stalls, smallholders, individual practitioners. KBLI 47844 only has licensing rules defined for micro and small business sizes. Foreign-owned companies have to register at the Large business size, so this code isn't available to them even though it's not on the "closed" list. Pick a related KBLI that covers larger operations, or ask us about partnering with an Indonesian operator who already holds the licence.

Sector capital requirement

Higher minimum capital required by OSS RBA (standard ladder)

Street vendors and market stalls (small-format retail)

Required paid-up

BKPM Reg. 5/2025 default (IDR 2.5 billion paid-up)

Regulation

BKPM Reg. 5/2025 (default PMA capital) — no sector regulator override

Note. The official KBLI activity description for codes in this subgroup uses small-format terminology — Pedagang Kaki Lima (PKL), street vendor, market stall, or kios. BUPM does not restrict foreign ownership and OSS RBA permits Large-scale registration, so a PT PMA can legally incorporate under any of these codes. The advisory note is a sanity check: if the visitor is planning a formal-store / chain / franchise / modern-retail business, a code in the 4711-4774 formal-store retail family (e.g. KBLI 47190, 47711-47798) may match the business model more accurately. Worth confirming the right code with our team before incorporating. Product-side regulators (BPOM, etc.) still apply per SKU sold regardless of which retail KBLI is chosen.

BKPM Reg. 5/2025's default is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up + IDR 10 billion commitment per KBLI. The figure above is the binding override for this activity — the higher number wins.

What this means for foreign investors

An honest read of the situation, plus the structures that work in practice. We've handled all of these — book a call to walk through your specific plan.

Pathways that work

Move to a different value-chain step
The cleanest path: operate a related but open KBLI. For example, foreign investors blocked from primary commodity production frequently succeed with the processing, distribution, branding, or export-trade codes upstream or downstream of the restricted activity.
Special Economic Zone (KEK) or Free Trade Zone (Batam)
Several restricted codes have higher or full PMA caps inside designated KEK zones (Sanur Health, Lido, Mandalika) or the Batam Free Trade Zone — manufacturing, logistics, and IT services especially. The IUK regime under BP Batam relaxes ownership rules selectively in exchange for export orientation. We assess whether your operation can benefit. See the for the requirements.
Indonesian-owned operating company + commercial agreement
A 100% Indonesian-owned operating entity can hold the restricted licence while you contract with it commercially. We structure these arrangements deliberately — without nominee shareholding, which is unenforceable and increasingly scrutinised.

PMA-viable codes in the same area

These siblings are usable by a foreign-owned PT PMA — they have a Large-scale licensing matrix and aren't on a restricted list. Each has its own context badge so you can pick by trade-off.

Restricted KBLIs need a tailored structure. Book a call and we'll map the right entity, partner, and licensing path for your specific business.

Reference data: how this KBLI is regulated

The data below is the official OSS regulatory profile for this code. It applies to qualifying Indonesian operators (or to your operating partner). Foreign investors won't file these directly, but it's useful context when structuring a partnership or commercial arrangement.

Foreign investors:the licensing matrix below is for context only — direct PMA registration isn't possible for this code. See pathways above for what actually works.

Sub-activity scope

Street Vendors and Market Stalls for Cosmetics

What's required to operate

NIB

Preparation only — additional permit needed below

Standard Certificate (Self-declared)

Important: 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.

Application requirements

§ 03

What is KBLI 47844?

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

KBLI 47844 (Perdagangan Eceran Kaki Lima Dan Los Pasar Kosmetik) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for retail trade of street vendors and cosmetic 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).

This group includes retail businesses selling cosmetic products conducted on public sidewalks (street vendors), in front of stores (shopfronts), or in fixed locations in markets that can be moved or pushed (market stalls), such as cosmetics for facial makeup (eye shadow, mascara, face cream, lipstick, lip liner), fragrance products (cologne, toilet water, perfume), hair products (shampoo, hair tonic, hair oil), nail products (base coat, nail polish, nail cream, cuticle remover), skin care products (baby oil, cleansing lotion, masks, foot cream), personal hygiene products (spray deodorant, cream deodorant, douches), shaving products (shaving soap, shaving cream), traditional cosmetics (powder, mangir, body scrub), and other cosmetics including body powder, beauty cotton, and baby powder.

Who needs KBLI 47844?

Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in retail trade of street vendors and cosmetic 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.

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.

§ 02

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.

No Large-scale (Usaha Besar) regulatory profile. OSS doesn't define a licensing matrix at this scale — the activity is regulated only at the smaller scales shown below. PT PMA must register as Usaha Besar, so this code cannot be a foreign-owned company's NIB activity. The same applies at any other scale where the cell is marked "Not regulated".

Micro

Usaha Mikro

≤ IDR 2 B turnover

Medium-Low risk

NIB + self-declared Standard Certificate before invoicing.

Small

Usaha Kecil

IDR 2 – 15 B

Medium-Low risk

NIB + self-declared Standard Certificate before invoicing.

Medium

Usaha Menengah

IDR 15 – 50 B

Medium-Low risk

NIB + self-declared Standard Certificate before invoicing.

Large

PMA scale

Usaha Besar

IDR > 50 B

Not available

OSS does not define a licensing matrix at this scale — businesses cannot register under this KBLI as Usaha at this size.

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.

§ 08

Common questions about KBLI 47844

What is KBLI 47844?

KBLI 47844 (Perdagangan Eceran Kaki Lima Dan Los Pasar Kosmetik) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for retail trade of street vendors and cosmetic market stalls. It sits within the Wholesale and Retail Trade; Repair and Maintenance of Cars and Motorcycles category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).

Can foreign investors operate under KBLI 47844?

Not in practice. KBLI 47844 is not on Pres. Reg. 10/2021's closed list, but OSS RBA only defines licensing rules at the Micro and Small business scales for this activity — there is no Large-scale matrix. Foreign-owned PT PMA must register at the Large scale, so this code isn't structurally available to foreign investors. PT lokal (100% Indonesian-owned) at the Micro / Small scale can operate freely.

What is the risk level of KBLI 47844?

KBLI 47844 has no Large-scale licensing matrix in OSS — it's structured for Micro and Small business scales only. PT PMA cannot register under this code as a result.

What licenses does KBLI 47844 require?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 47844 is not viable for foreign-owned entities (closed, SME-reserved, domestic-only, or no Large-scale licensing matrix in OSS RBA, depending on the case). Foreign investors should pick a related KBLI that is open at the Large scale.

What is the minimum capital for a PT PMA under KBLI 47844?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 47844 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so neither BKPM Reg. 5/2025's paid-up minimum nor any sector-specific capital floor enters the picture. The structural barrier comes first.

How long does it take to register a business under KBLI 47844?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 47844 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so the 4-8 week PT PMA setup timeline doesn't apply. Move to a sibling code with a Large-scale matrix or a different structure.

Is KBLI 47844 eligible for Indonesian tax incentives?

Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 47844 businesses pay the standard 22% PPh Badan; Super Tax Deduction (300% R&D / 200% vocational training) may still apply for qualifying expenses.

Which authority issues the KBLI 47844 license?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 47844 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so OSS doesn't designate a PMA issuing authority. Smaller-scale registrations (Micro / Small) for Indonesian operators are typically issued at the Regency / City level.

What other permits beyond the NIB does KBLI 47844 need?

Beyond the NIB, no specific auxiliary permits (PB UMKU) are recorded for KBLI 47844. Sector-specific obligations may still apply — verify with the relevant ministry.

What KBLI codes are similar to 47844?

KBLIs in the same subgroup 4784: 47841 (Retail Trade of Street Vendors and Market Stalls for Chemical Materials); 47842 (Retail Trade of Street Vendors and Pharmaceutical Market Stalls); 47843 (Retail Trade of Street Vendors and Traditional Medicine Stalls); 47845 (Retail Trade of Street Vendors and Pest Control and Fertilizer Market Stalls); 47846 (Retail Trade of Street Vendors and Aromatic/Fragrance (Essential Oils) Market Stalls).
