Electric Cigarette Liquids as a Standalone Manufacturing Activity

This activity covers the formulation, mixing and packaging of e-cigarette liquids, with national PMA openness and no Bali moratorium block in the record.

The honest conclusion is therefore straightforward: this is nationally open to PMA up to 100%, and the Bali record does not add a moratorium block.
What Changed

KBLI 2020→2025 mapping: code renumbered.

What You Need

Nationally the sector is fully open to 100% foreign ownership. In Bali it is registrable but classified as a medium‑high to high‑risk activity; it is not blocked by the current moratorium, so PMA is possible, though site‑specific verification and additional regulatory permits per address will be required.

Who This Is For

Foreign vape entrepreneurs aiming to produce their own e‑liquid formulas for closed pods, cartridges, or bottled open‑system juices.

What is KBLI 20298?

The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed.
