Documentation we ship with every consignment

  • Commercial Invoice
  • Packing List
  • Bill of Lading
  • Form AI Certificate of Origin under AITIGA
  • BPOM registration for food, supplements, and cosmetics (mandatory)
  • Halal certification (mandatory for food, beverages, cosmetics, medicines)
  • Phytosanitary certificate for agricultural products

Halal certification is now mandatory for food, beverages, cosmetics, and most medicines under Law 33/2014 (phased enforcement). BPOM (Indonesian FDA equivalent) registration is required for any consumer-facing food, supplement, cosmetic, or pharma item. Timelines run 4-12 months. Importers must hold an API-U (general importer) or API-P (producer-importer) licence. Indonesia is a price-sensitive market. Indian competitive pricing on commodities is the primary draw.

Frequently asked: India to Indonesia

Is Halal certification mandatory in Indonesia?

Yes for food, beverages, cosmetics, and most medicines under Law 33/2014, with enforcement phased through 2026. Darsavio EXIM coordinates Halal certification through Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Halal Trust or another body recognised by Indonesia's BPJPH agency.

How do I register a product with BPOM Indonesia?

BPOM registration is mandatory for food, supplements, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals before retail sale.
