The grace period for imported products ends on 17 October 2026. Under Law 33 of 2014 and Government Regulation 42 of 2024, food, beverages, cosmetics, traditional medicines, chemical products, clothing, household appliances and Class A medical devices sold in Indonesia must be halal certified. Later deadlines apply to over-the-counter medicines and Class B devices (2029), prescription medicines and Class C devices (2034) and Class D devices (2039).
Certification covers more than the product. Processing, storage, packaging and distribution are in scope, and halal and non-halal goods must be kept completely separate.
Non-halal products must say so
Under BPJPH Regulation No. 3 of 2026, products containing non-halal materials must be clearly labelled “NON-HALAL” or state that they contain pork or lard. The market transition runs to July 2027.
Exporter checklist
- Confirm which of your products fall into the October 2026 group.
- Check your certifier is BPJPH-recognised for your scope. Australia has a number of approved halal certification bodies.
- Update packaging with the correct halal logo, or the non-halal statement.
- Check every ingredient has a valid, recognised halal certificate.
- Appoint and train a Muslim halal supervisor.
