Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a newsprint, writing & printing paper business in Indonesia?
Yes. KBLI 17012 (Industri Kertas Budaya) is TERBUKA — open to 100% foreign ownership via PT PMA. No local Indonesian partner required. (Source: Perpres 10/2021 as amended by Perpres 49/2021 — the investment-list annexes predate KBLI 2025; per-code crosswalk audit in progress.)
What license is required for KBLI 17012?
KBLI 17012 has a Menengah Rendah risk classification. Required license: NIB + Sertifikat Standar. Processing time: Otomatis.
What is KBLI 17012?
KBLI 17012 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Industri Kertas Budaya" (Newsprint, Writing & Printing Paper). It falls under Section C of KBLI 2025, the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification updated by BPS (Regulation 7/2025). The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed; operators should verify the code's current OSS/NIB treatment before relying on it for licensing, reporting, or amendments.
How did KBLI 17012 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 17012 was mapped from previous code 17012 (KBLI 2020). This is a direct match — the code number and scope remained the same. The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed. If an NIB still relies on legacy KBLI 2020 mappings, treat the migration as overdue and verify/remediate the OSS record before new license applications, amendments, LKPM, import approvals, or investor/worker sponsorship.
