Undang-Undang Nomor 33 Tahun 2014 tentang Jaminan Produk Halal

UU 33/2014 — the Halal Product Assurance Law — establishes mandatory halal certification for all products consumed, used, or applied by Indonesian consumers. Implemented gradually: F&B services products were the first phased deadline (October 2024), followed by cosmetics, personal care, and traditional medicine (October 2026), then chemicals, biological products, and genetically engineered products in subsequent phases. The law transferred halal certification authority from MUI (Indonesian Ulema Council) to BPJPH (Halal Product Assurance Agency), an arm of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, with MUI retaining the role of issuing the underlying religious determination (fatwa). Standard certification path for SMEs is via the Sehati program (free or subsidised certification through self-declaration, available for low-risk product categories). Foreign-owned manufacturers and importers must comply when their products reach Indonesian consumers. Affects KBLI codes across F&B (10xxx, 56xxx), cosmetics (20232, 47403), pharmaceutical (21xxx), and others. Implementing regulations include PP 39/2021 and BPJPH technical regulations.
