What You Need

🏝️National procedure — does not apply to a PT PMA in Bali

Step-by-step for a PT PMA tobacco wholesale distributor

1
Company incorporation— PT PMDN / CV / Perorangan (local, WNI) — notary deed, AHU registration
2
NIB via OSS— register on oss.go.id, select 46335, Rendah path; auto-issued (1–3 days)
3
NPPBKC (Nomor Pokok Pengusaha Barang Kena Cukai)— **CRITICAL MANDATORY STEP**: registration as an excisable goods operator with DJBC (Direktorat Jenderal Bea dan Cukai / Customs and Excise). Without NPPBKC, you CANNOT legally handle tobacco products in Indonesia. Application to the nearest Kantor Bea dan Cukai — typically 2–4 weeks
4
Pita cukai (tax stamps)— every cigarette pack, cigar, and tobacco product sold in Indonesia must bear a valid government tax stamp. As a wholesale distributor, you receive products already bearing pita cukai from manufacturers or licensed importers. Verifying and tracking pita cukai on your inventory is a legal obligation
5
BPOM registration for e-cigarettes/vaping liquid— Permenkes 28/2017 requires BPOM registration for vape/e-cigarette liquid (liquid contains nicotine = regulated health product). BPOM registration number must appear on packaging
6
Import permits for cigarettes— imported branded cigarettes (Marlboro, Dunhill, Camel) face strict import licensing; import quota from Kemendag + SNI compliance + cukai payment on import. High tariff barriers protect domestic brands
7
API-U— general import license from Kemendag if importing any tobacco products
8
Advertising compliance— PP 109/2012 and Permenkes 109/2012 impose severe restrictions:
9
STP Distributor/Agen (optional)— Kemendag registration
10
Laporan kegiatan usaha— periodic business activity reports (ongoing)

Authority

PMA
2020 → 2025

Direct match from KBLI 2020. Major post-2020 developments: (1) E-cigarette and vaping regulation has intensified — Indonesia formalized BPOM registration requirements for vape liquids under Permenkes 28/2017 framework; (2) Tobacco excise rates have increased significantly annually — cukai tembakau is now up to 57% of the retail price (Harga Pokok Penjualan) for certain product categories; (3) Plain packaging discussions have intensified at the Kemenkes level; (4) WHO FCTC pressure has led to tighter advertising enforcement including digital/social media.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a cigarettes & tobacco wholesale business in Indonesia?
Nationally yes — but NOT in Bali. KBLI 46335 (Perdagangan Besar Rokok dan Tembakau) is TERBUKA (100% foreign ownership) at the national level, but in Bali it is blocked for a PT PMA under the 13 May 2026 moratorium. OSS risk at scale Besar is Rendah/Menengah-Rendah on every scope → blocked by Bali moratorium 13 May 2026 Outside Bali it is open to a PT PMA with no local 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 46335?
KBLI 46335 has a Rendah risk classification. Required license: NIB. Processing time: Otomatis.
What is KBLI 46335?
KBLI 46335 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Perdagangan Besar Rokok dan Tembakau" (Cigarettes & Tobacco Wholesale). It falls under Section G 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 46335 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 46335 was mapped from previous code 46335 (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.

Wholesale tobacco in Indonesia? 46335 is the code — NIB auto-issued, but NPPBKC from Bea Cukai is the mandatory gate that unlocks legal operation. Cukai tembakau runs up to 57% of retail price. The PMA opportunity: premium cigar import for Bali's luxury hotel cigar lounges, where existing supply is thin and margins are real.
