This covers the industrial production of lacquers, varnishes, organic composite solvents, thinners, and paint or varnish removers, including mastic. Essentially, it's about manufacturing coating and finishing products for wood, metal, or other surfaces.

What Changed

Direct 1:1 match from KBLI 2020 — code and scope unchanged.

What You Need

Nationally, this activity is fully open to 100% foreign ownership. In Bali, the island-wide moratorium (in force since 13 May 2026) only halts PMA registrations for Low and Medium-Low risk lines — this KBLI's large-scale (Besar) risk class is higher, so it is not caught: PMA registration in Bali remains possible.

Who This Is For

A foreign industrial chemicals entrepreneur or manufacturer looking to produce specialty coatings and solvents — and Bali is not off the table: this KBLI's large-scale risk class sits above the moratorium's Low/Medium-Low band, so a PMA can still register it here.

What is KBLI 20222?

KBLI 20222 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Industri Pernis" (Varnish & Lacquer Manufacturing). It falls under Section C 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 20222 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?

KBLI 20222 was mapped from previous code 20222 (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.
