Technical guide covering the regulatory framework, sector-specific requirements and a readiness checklist for halal certification in Indonesia under BPJPH.
From 17 October 2026, all food, beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and chemical products sold in Indonesia must hold halal certification registered in SIHALAL. Without it: rejection at customs, product withdrawals and no access to more than 275 million consumers.
The full process of certification, registration and labelling updates takes between 3 and 5 months. If your company exports or plans to export to Indonesia, the time to get ready is now.
