This covers the manufacturing of a wide range of cleaning and care products, from bar soaps and liquid dish soap to laundry detergents, fabric softeners, surface polishes, air fresheners, and pre-moistened wipes. It also includes related processing of crude glycerol and blending of surfactants into powders or liquids.

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) halts PMA registrations for Low and Medium-Low risk lines, and some scopes of this KBLI fall in that band — but at least one large-scale (Besar) scope carries a higher risk class, so the code remains registrable as a PMA in Bali on that scope.

Who This Is For

Foreign entrepreneurs ready to manufacture cleaning products, waxes, or air care items at scale could use this KBLI elsewhere in Indonesia — 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 20231?

KBLI 20231 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Industri Bahan dan Produk Pembersih" (Soap & Cleaning Product 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 20231 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?

KBLI 20231 was mapped from previous code 20231 (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.
