Regular Scheme · BPJPH Indonesia
We guide overseas manufacturers and their Indonesian importers through BPJPH halal requirements, from the first consultation until the certificate is issued.
Verified, audited, then decided.
Data as of September 2026. Figures reflect our past engagements and are not a guaranteed timeline.
Products made outside Indonesia are covered by the same halal obligation once they enter the Indonesian market. First, the product needs a halal certificate or registration number through one of two routes, depending on whether it already holds a halal certificate that Indonesia recognises. Then, before shipment, the imported products go through a conformity assurance.
Route 1
For products already certified by a foreign halal body that has a mutual recognition arrangement with BPJPH, and whose recognised scope covers your product category.
Route 2
For products without a halal certificate, or certified by a body that BPJPH does not recognise for that product category.
Then, before shipment
Update, 17 October 2026: the government announced that BPJPH Regulation No. 4 of 2026, described below, will be revoked as part of the amendment to Government Regulation No. 42 of 2024. Mandatory certification for imported food, beverages, and slaughtered products now starts on 18 October 2028. Please check with us before planning a shipment.
Holding a certificate or registration number is the first half. Under BPJPH Regulation No. 4 of 2026, imported products also go through a conformity assurance: an administrative verification and a limited physical check that the shipment matches its halal certificate or registration number, its halal label or non-halal information, the import documents, and Indonesia's halal product assurance rules. The importer applies; the check takes place in the country of loading.
01
The importer confirms that the product holds a valid halal certificate or foreign halal certificate registration, then prepares:
02
The importer submits the application to the Head of BPJPH through SIHALAL (ptsp.halal.go.id) with the required documents, then selects an Inspection Body designated by BPJPH.
03
The Inspection Body verifies and validates the documents. Incomplete files are returned to the importer. Once complete, the Inspection Body calculates the fee, BPJPH issues the invoice, and the importer pays it in full.
04
After payment, the Inspection Body informs the importer and/or exporter of the schedule. The check is carried out in the country of loading or origin, and can be done directly at the loading warehouse before shipping. Documents are compared with the physical goods, including:
05
The result is set out in a Halal Product Conformity Report (LPPH), submitted to the Head of BPJPH through SIHALAL, where the importer can download it.
06
The LPPH is attached to the import customs declaration.

As the overseas manufacturer you own the product and its halal status, but you do not file alone. Applications are made through an Indonesian entity.
General information as of October 2026, not legal advice. Products that are not halal may still be imported, provided they carry clear non-halal information. The list of recognised foreign halal bodies and the detailed registration requirements are set by BPJPH and change over time; please confirm the current rules on the official BPJPH website or with us before you proceed.
PT Signature Halal Indonesia is a Jakarta-based consultancy that assists businesses through BPJPH halal certification under the regular scheme, from application to certificate issuance, with an approach tailored to the scale of each business:
Our assistance follows the realities of your business, not a one-size-fits-all package.
From food and cosmetics to chemical products and consumer goods.
Every stage is communicated until the certificate is issued.
Our role is clear. Halal certificates are issued by BPJPH (Indonesia's Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency). Audits are carried out by a Halal Inspection Body (LPH), and halal status is decided in an MUI fatwa hearing. Signature Halal is the consultant that prepares your documents and accompanies you at every stage.
BPJPH regular scheme, from the first consultation until the certificate can be downloaded from SIHALAL, the official BPJPH system.
We prepare the Halal Product Assurance System (SJPH) manual, the material list with supporting documents, and the production flow chart.
We help put the system into practice at your facility so that it is ready for the audit.
We handle revisions and corrective actions for the findings raised by the Halal Inspection Body (LPH).
We train your team to run the SJPH after the certificate is issued.
