The English-language reference for Indonesia's business classification system.
KBLI.CO.ID exists to make a regulatory dataset that's authoritative but inaccessible (Indonesian-only, scattered across OSS, BPS, BKPM + sector ministries) genuinely usable by foreign investors. Every page on the site is built around one question: "can I do this as a foreigner, and what does it actually take?"
What we cover.
The full Indonesian KBLI taxonomy at every hierarchy level — from 22 alphabetical sections down to 1,773 5-digit classes. Each class page surfaces:
- Foreign-investment status derived from Pres. Reg. 10/2021 (BUPM Investment Business Fields) — open, conditional with cap, domestic-only, SME-reserved, partnership-required, or scale-restricted. We apply a partial-vs-full-class heuristic so sub-activity restrictions don't get over-applied.
- OSS RBA risk levels per business scale (Micro / Small / Medium / Large) and the specific licensing instruments required at each (NIB / Sertifikat Standar / Izin), including processing time and issuing authority.
- Sector-regulator overlays when the activity is gated by OJK (financial services), BPOM (FDA), Kemenkes (health), ESDM (energy & mining), Kominfo (telecoms), or LPJK (construction) — we surface the regulator and what approval is needed on top of the standard NIB.
- Halal certification scope under UU 33/2014 + PP 39/2021 — phase-1 (food/slaughter) mandatory since Oct 2024, phase-2 (cosmetics, medical devices) by Oct 2026, phase-3 (pharma) by Oct 2029.
Data sources.
OSS Indonesia
Open ↗Every KBLI's regulation matrix — risk per scale, requirements, obligations, permits, authorities — is scraped directly from the Online Single Submission portal.
BPS (Statistics Indonesia)
Open ↗The canonical KBLI 2020 and 2025 taxonomies are published by BPS. We use BPS as the source of truth for class names, hierarchy and structure.
BKPM (Investment Coordinating Board)
Open ↗Pres. Reg. 10/2021 (BUPM Investment Business Fields) is administered by BKPM. We apply BKPM Reg. 5/2025 capital rules on top — IDR 2.5 B paid-up minimum + IDR 10 B+ commitment per KBLI.
BPJPH
Open ↗UU 33/2014 + PP 39/2021 phased Halal-certification deadlines feed our Halal-applicability flags on food, cosmetics, pharma and F&B service KBLIs.
Methodology.
Every page is sourced directly from OSS Indonesia and BPS, then translated into plain English. The "Last updated" stamp on each code reflects the most recent refresh against the official source.
Editorial calls — distinguishing partial sub-activity restrictions from class-wide ones, flagging KBLIs with no Large-scale licensing matrix, naming the right sector regulator — are applied consistently across every page so a foreign investor isn't told "all cosmetics manufacturing is closed" when only "traditional cosmetics" is the actual restriction.
We deliberately don't assert capital figures we can't verify. Sector-regulated KBLIs (OJK / BPOM / Kemenkes / ESDM and others) are flagged, but the specific rupiah amount is left to the regulator of record — Emerhub confirms the binding figure with BKPM and the relevant ministry before any foreign investor commits.
