Key Regulatory Agencies in Indonesia for Product Registration
These government bodies ensure that food, drug, and consumer products in Indonesia comply with safety, quality, and halal requirements before they are marketed or imported.
BPOM (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan)
The Indonesian Food and Drug Authority responsible for ensuring the safety, quality, and effectiveness of food, drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices. BPOM regulates product registration for processed foods, dietary supplements, beverages, and innovative foods through detailed document review, inspections, and certification issuance.
MoH (Ministry of Health)
Oversees public health policies that may impact product safety standards, especially for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and health supplements. It works in conjunction with BPOM in regulating health-related products.
MoA (Ministry of Agriculture)
The Ministry of Agriculture manages the import and distribution of fresh agricultural products (PSAT). Its focus is on quarantine standards, hygiene, and enforcing national supply quotas. Includes fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, and other plant-based fresh products intended for consumption or planting. Both locally produced and imported fresh plant-based products fall under this registration requirement.
BPJPH (Halal Product Assurance Organizing Body)
Halal certification, mandated by the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Body (BPJPH). The certification ensures that products comply with Islamic dietary laws and are permissible for Muslim consumers. All products circulating, imported, or traded must have halal certification, except those made explicitly from prohibited (haram) materials which must be labeled “non-halal.”

FAQs About Product Registration. in Indonesia
Indonesian regulations require that your application be submitted by a legally established local entity in Indonesia or a Local Authorized Representative (LAR). This entity acts as the responsible license holder and distributor on your behalf in Indonesia. Emerhub can act as your representative to obtain all the necessary permits and registration to legally distribute or import your products in Indonesia.
Timelines vary significantly based on product category and risk. Here are some examples:
- Medical Devices (MoH): High-risk devices (Class C/D) often require 6 months or more for technical evaluation.
- Cosmetic Notification (BPOM): Can be as quick as 1-2 months, assuming complete documentation.
- Processed Food (BPOM): Typically ranges from 2-6 months, depending on risk level and lab testing.
If you want to distribute your products in Indonesia, you are required to have a Halal certification. Strict mandatory deadlines apply to food, cosmetics, drugs, and medical devices. Non-certified products face market restrictions and must be clearly segregated.
For most of the regulated products such as food and medical devices, you are required to have a physical location. You must have a compliant distribution warehouse that meets agency storage standards (e.g., temperature, hygiene). This warehouse is subject to mandatory audit by BPOM or the MoH as part of the licensing process.
Rejection occurs due to incomplete documentation, technical non-compliance, or improper labeling claims. The agency issues an official notice detailing the deficiencies. Emerhub manages this remediation process, analyzing the rejection reasons, updating the dossier, and promptly resubmitting the corrected application.
