Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world with a population of 276 million, making it the fourth most populous country in the world. As one of the founding countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has a huge market potential that has attracted the attention of many overseas food companies.
However, its complex food compliance laws and numerous registration requirements have hindered foreign companies from entering the market. In response, ChemLinked has compiled the three main registration requirements for Indonesian food products, including registration through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, the use of the new HALAL logo, and Indonesian National Standard (SNI), for companies' reference.
1. OSS System
From March 2023, Enterprises intending to sell or distribute health supplements, medicines, or quasi-drugs in Indonesia, shall apply for the Business Registration Number (Nomor Induk Berusaha, NIB) from Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan (BPOM, Indonesian food competent authority)1 via OSS system2.
What is OSS system?
OSS system is a one-stop online system for registering business entities prior to product distribution in Indonesia, aiming to simplify business licensing.
