Foreign Investor FeasibilityKBLI 56305
§ 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
Open under BUPM (subject to sector rules)
KBLI 56305 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved, or partnership-required schedules under BUPM (Pres. Reg. 10/2021). A foreign investor can incorporate a PT PMA under this code, but sector regulators (PSE/Kominfo, BPOM, OJK, Kemenkes, Permendag, ESDM) almost always add licensing and capital requirements on top — the practical answer depends on your specific business model.
This KBLI is open under BUPM (Pres. Reg. 10/2021) — it's not on any restricted, closed, SME-reserved, or partnership-required schedule. That's the BUPM verdict only, not a complete sector-readiness check: sector regulators almost always add requirements on top (PSE/Kominfo for digital platforms, BPOM for food and cosmetics, OJK for financial, Kemenkes for healthcare, Permendag for retail, ESDM for energy). BKPM's default capital floor is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up with IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI, but sector regulators frequently set higher minimums for specific activities. The practical answer depends on your business model — confirm with our team before committing capital.
Sector capital requirement
Higher minimum capital required by BPOM (product registration)
Traditional medicine shop / depot jamu (kedai format)
Required paid-up
BKPM Reg. 5/2025 default (IDR 2.5 billion paid-up)
Regulation
Permenkes 6/2012 (Industri & Usaha Obat Tradisional) + BPOM TR product registration per SKU
Note. The OSS scope description for KBLI 56305 is "Kedai Jamu / Depot Jamu" — small-format traditional-medicine retail. BUPM does not restrict foreign ownership and OSS RBA permits Large-scale registration, so a PT PMA can legally incorporate under this code. The advisory note is a code-fit check: a foreign investor planning a modern traditional-medicine retail business may match better under KBLI 47723 (Retail Trade of Traditional Medicine for Humans — pharmacy-grade format, requires Apoteker PJT) or KBLI 21022 (Traditional Medicine Product Industry — manufacturing). Worth confirming with our team which code matches the actual business model. BPOM TR distribution permits apply per product regardless of the chosen retail KBLI.
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.
§ 02
Halal certification
Indonesia requires BPJPH Halal certification for an expanding range of consumer-product categories. This KBLI's activities fall in scope — see what's required and when.
BPJPH certification recommended
Most foreign-owned F&B brands in Indonesia get Halal-certified.
Voluntary but commercially expected
Halal certification isn't legally mandatory for restaurants yet — but in practice, foreign brands targeting modern trade, malls, hotels, or franchise channels almost always obtain it. Without certification, you'll struggle to land in shopping centres and risk consumer pushback in any market outside Bali. We handle the BPJPH application, kitchen audit, and supply-chain documentation.
- 01
Audit & gap analysis
Review your formulation, supply chain, and facility against BPJPH criteria. Identify ingredients or processes that need swapping.
- 02
LPH inspection
An accredited Halal Inspection Body (LPPOM-MUI is the largest) audits the facility and reviews documentation.
- 03
BPJPH issuance
The Halal certificate is issued under the BPJPH register and the Halal label can be applied to packaging.
Halal certification is a core Emerhub service. We've handled BPJPH projects for foreign-brand food, cosmetics, and pharma operators across Indonesia — including supply-chain re-sourcing where needed. Bundle it with your PT PMA setup and we coordinate both timelines.
