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.
Reserved for cooperatives & micro/small enterprises
KBLI 95291 is allocated to cooperatives and Indonesian micro, small and medium enterprises (UMKM) under the BUPM allocation list. Foreign investment via PT PMA is not permitted for the listed sub-activities below.

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.
This activity is allocated to Indonesian SMEs and cooperatives.
PT PMA is not permitted for this KBLI. The activity is reserved for cooperatives and Indonesian micro/small/medium enterprises (UMKM). The pathway for foreign investors is to operate a different value-chain step (e.g. processing or distribution rather than the reserved primary activity), or to support local SMEs as an off-taker / brand owner / financier.
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) carve-outs
Several restricted codes — notably healthcare, education, and certain manufacturing — have higher or full PMA caps inside designated KEK zones (e.g. Sanur Health KEK, Lido KEK). We assess whether your operation can benefit and walk you through the KEK admission process.
SME partnership / off-take model
You can't hold the SME licence yourself, but you can build a contractual ecosystem with cooperatives or UMKM partners — supplying them with capital, IP, brand, distribution, or technology. We structure these arrangements so they stay defensible and commercially aligned.
What is KBLI 95291?
A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.
KBLI 95291 (Aktivitas Vermak Pakaian) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for clothing alteration activities. It sits within Other Service Activities under the subgroup Repair of Personal and Other Household Goods in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Who needs KBLI 95291?
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in clothing alteration activities 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.
Carried forward into KBLI 2025
KBLI 95291 retains the same code number and scope in the new taxonomy. The activity description, hierarchy, and intended use of the code are preserved.
- ·Continue using 95291 for current registrations under KBLI 2020.
- ·When OSS adopts KBLI 2025 (timing not yet announced), no migration is required for this code.
- ·Risk level, permits, and authority routing shown above remain in effect under both taxonomies.
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.
