Wholesale Paper and Cardboard: Open Nationally, Blocked for PMA in Bali

A foreign investor cannot register wholesale paper and cardboard in Bali today: although the activity is nationally open to PMA with a 100% foreign-ownership ceiling, Bali’s permanent risk-based moratorium blocks it.

National openness sets the ceiling, but Bali’s permanent PMA block determines the registration outcome on the island.

What You Need

Nationally, this KBLI is 100% open to foreign ownership, but in Bali it is currently blocked for PMA companies due to the ongoing moratorium on low- and medium-low-risk businesses. As a result, you cannot register a foreign-owned company for paper wholesale in Bali under present restrictions, regardless of the national permission.

Who This Is For

A foreign entrepreneur looking to import and distribute paper or cardboard in bulk to business clients, but note that Bali-based PMA setup is not possible while the moratorium is in place.
