Expand Your Business In Indonesian Marketplace

Are you curious about Indonesia’s trade and economic activity but unsure of where to begin? Obtaining a BPOM certificate will allow you to start your adventure. The Indonesian government established the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority or FDA (BPOM), a national agency, in 2001 with the goal of preserving and safeguarding public health via the regulation and oversight of food and medication goods that are marketed on the open market. Therefore, if you opt to expand your business in Indonesia, feel free to apply for a BPOM certificate right away, and we are ready to assist you.

Why Settle For Business In Indonesia?

There are few reasons why foreign businesses are interested in entering Indonesia marketplace, which consist of:

The Reason for Foreign Companies Seeking BPOM Registration

Here are a few other reasons why they seek to achieve BPOM certification for their products prior to entering the Indonesian marketplace.

Importing international goods into the Indonesian market

As we are all being informed, acquiring BPOM Indonesia registration is highly mandatory for all wholesalers and suppliers, especially foreign suppliers. Thus, registering in BPOM can legally penetrate the Indonesian marketplace.

Introduce merchandise that has never been used or seen in Indonesia

Foreign companies are able to grasp a chance to introduce international products like food supplements, skincare, cosmetics, and many more to the Indonesian market that might not be found in their country.

Ensuring that imported goods comply with Indonesian laws and regulations

In order to import your products into Indonesia, one of the essential procedures you must do before starting to market your product is to obtain a certificate to ensure the imported products adhere to Indonesian laws and regulations.

To develop additional sources of income

You may undoubtedly make more money by expanding your company abroad, such as in the Republic of Indonesia, than by focusing only on home sales. Don’t be hesitant to leave your comfort zone.

The Common Difficulties In Obtaining BPOM

Following are some challenges that international businesses typically encounter while requesting BPOM certificates. Acknowledging these issues may equip you to be ready for any situation that may arise throughout the process.

From the viewpoint of the global vendor, the steps for obtaining BPOM registration are still vague. Therefore, it is difficult for individuals to start the process of registering for a BPOM certificate without receiving proper guidance from specialists.

Another reason why most suppliers did not obtain the certificate is that the fees were too high, and they could not commit to the lengthy registration process, which takes at least a year. 

If a foreign business does not yet have a legal entity in Indonesia, it can either provide a licence to an Indonesian business to use its goods. However, the majority of them are unaffiliated with any businesses in Indonesia.

There are certain businesses that are unable to fully commit to completing the BPOM registration procedure because the requirements, particularly the required documentation and form, are too tedious.

You must meet a few requirements in order to obtain some important certificates, such as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP), or ISO 22000 certificates, which most new foreign vendors have failed to do.

For Whom Should BPOM Registration Be Sought?

  • Businesses from both abroad and domestically must get a BPOM certification licence in order to sell and distribute processed food and beverage goods, cosmetics, or medicines (including traditional and cosmetical medications) in Indonesia.
  • If the foreign company wants to own the licence, the importing business must submit an application for a BPOM certification licence on your behalf.
  • Keep in mind that you must maintain a positive working relationship with the importer. Suppose there are any disagreements that lead to the dissolution of the relationship. In that case, the importing firm may still be legally able to sell your products in Indonesia up until the expiration of their certification licence.
