Indonesia's mandatory halal requirements start 18 October 2026 and cover food, drinks, cosmetics, medicines, supplements, chemicals, raw materials and food additives. Exporters must hold valid halal certificates, pass Pre-shipment Verification by a BPJPH-appointed LPH, and keep documents and storage/transport controlled to prevent contamination. Non-halal products may still sell but must be labelled "NON-HALAL", and pork-containing items must say "MENGANDUNG BABI". Penalties range from written warnings and fines to recalls and certificate revocation. DITP will hold more seminars with BPJPH, and Thailand meets BPJPH on 15 September 2026 on renewing the halal MRA. Start certificate and label checks now if you ship to Indonesia.
