Having a population that is the 4th largest in the world added with a tremendous growth of the middle class contributing to the consumption surge over the years, Indonesia has become a top destination for foreign investors in the food and beverage (F&B) industry.
What is more, as a country that is still developing rapidly, Indonesia requires more advanced technology in medical devices. Foreign supply, then, is in high demand. The healthcare industry, particularly the medical device sector, is something that foreign investors should explore more.
Basic Requirements
The basic requirements to register F&B and medical devices in Indonesia are almost the same. You are required to submit an online application with the following documents:
Securing an Import License in Indonesia
The Indonesian government has implemented the Online Single Submission (OSS) system since July 2018 to streamline the process of securing an import license, which took up to five months.
All business entities must register through the OSS. Once the registration process is completed, an NIB is issued automatically. The NIB serves as the basic Import License and replaces the Company Registration Certificate (TDP) and Importer Identification Number (API).
How to Register Food and Beverage Products in Indonesia
For F&B and medical device registration, the procedures are slightly different. For a successful F&B registration in Indonesia, the following are required:
In general, each F&B product must be registered. But, the government has made some exceptions for the following products:
Different packaging materials and designs need a separate registration. But, if they come in various sizes and weights, one registration is enough. For example, biscuits will be sold in small and big packaging.
How to Register Medical Devices in Indonesia
To register a medical device, the procedure is as follows:
Indonesia implements a four-grade risk evaluation system when medical devices are mishandled or not used properly:
To battle the coronavirus, the Indonesian government has relaxed the medical device licensing requirements for importation and distribution, including a one-day service to get Distribution Permit (Izin Edar) for local products.
Medical devices that are eligible are those used for taking care of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as surgical gloves and apparel, ventilators, hand sanitizers, and surface/room disinfectants.
Company establishment in Indonesia is required because only companies that are legally registered in Indonesia with valid licenses can register either food, beverages or medical devices.
Foreign investors can establish a foreign-owned company, known as a PT PMA. Depending on the business classification, a PT PMA allows up to 100% foreign ownership.
An import-export company can be 100% owned by foreigners. However, a foreign distributor company can own 67% of shares, whereas a retailer of food and beverage products is fully closed to foreigners.
A PT PMA requires an investment plan of IDR 10 billion (also with a paid-up capital of IDR 10 billion). It takes approximately 1 to 1.5 months to set up a PT PMA.
Foreign investors who do not want to wait for 1 to 1.5 months to complete the PT PMA registration process can start importing right away with the following alternatives:
Product License Holder
A Product License Holder will provide importers with all necessary licenses. All imported products will be registered based on a license holder agreement without the right of exclusivity. This means that foreign investors can engage several distributors.
Undername Importer
Undername Importer, also known as Importer of Record (IOR), is the ideal solution to import products into Indonesia. An Undername Importer is a registered legal entity with an import license. It is responsible for taking care of all documents and entry requirements to import goods into Indonesia.
Approximately 88% of the Indonesian population are Muslims. This fact makes Indonesia hold the status of having the world’s largest Muslim population. Taking into account the staggering percentage, investors should care about halal certification.
Starting from October 2019, these product categories are required to have halal certificates from the BPJPH: food and beverages, drugs, traditional medicines and health supplements, cosmetics, chemical, biological, genetically engineered products, and used goods with certain criteria.
Here are the steps to secure a halal certificate:
According to Indonesian Law No. 6 Year 2023, halal certification is valid as long as there’s no change in the ingredient or process.
It may be challenging to comply with local regulations regarding import export, company setup, and product registration, especially for foreign investors and during a crisis like COVID-19.
For updates on regulation changes pertaining to the COVID-19 situation and a comprehensive guide to ensure hassle-free importation and product registration in Indonesia, a reliable business consultant like InCorp Indonesia can be a great help.
