General Goods by Road: The Business Behind the Load

Step-by-step for a PT PMA general freight operator
1
Company incorporation— PT PMDN / CV / Perorangan (local, WNI) — notary deed, AHU registration
2
NIB via OSS— register on oss.go.id, select 49231, Menengah Rendah path (~3 days)
3
Izin Usaha Angkutan Barang— freight transport business license from Dinas Perhubungan Kabupaten/Kota (Kecil) or Kementerian Perhubungan (Besar); documents: STNK fleet list, garansi pool address, NPWP
4
KIR (Uji Berkala Kendaraan Bermotor)— mandatory vehicle roadworthiness test every **6 months** for all commercial freight vehicles. This is an ongoing operational compliance item — each vehicle has its own KIR schedule. Expired KIR = vehicle cannot legally haul cargo
5
SNI marking verification— commercial vehicles must use SNI-compliant tires (SNI 1811), brakes, and structural components. When purchasing trucks, verify SNI compliance on key components before putting vehicles into commercial service
6
Surat Jalan— cargo manifest / delivery letter required for every shipment, documenting origin, destination, cargo type, weight, and vehicle details
7
Company incorporation— PT PMDN / CV / Perorangan (local, WNI) — notary deed, AHU registration
8
AKAP barang permit (if crossing provincial borders)— inter-provincial freight requires additional Izin Usaha Angkutan Barang AKAP from Kementerian Perhubungan. Bali–Java crossings (via Ketapang ferry) require this
9
Asuransi kargo— cargo insurance per shipment; required by most B2B clients
10
Laporan kegiatan usaha— periodic operational reports (ongoing obligation)

Direct match from KBLI 2020 (MATCH_LANGSUNG). General road freight is a stable, consistently regulated category. PP 28/2025 formalizes the OSS pathway; KIR and SNI compliance requirements are governed by UU LLAJ 22/2009 and BSNI standards respectively, both predating this regulation.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a general cargo road transport business in Indonesia?
Yes. KBLI 49231 (Angkutan Bermotor untuk Barang Umum) is TERBUKA — open to 100% foreign ownership via PT PMA. No local Indonesian partner required.
What license is required for KBLI 49231?
KBLI 49231 has a Menengah Tinggi risk classification. Required license: NIB + Sertifikat Standar. Processing time: 5.
What is KBLI 49231?
KBLI 49231 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Angkutan Bermotor untuk Barang Umum" (General Cargo Road Transport). It falls under Section H 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 49231 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 49231 was mapped from previous code 49431 (KBLI 2020). Cleaned: removed invalid ['49231'] Multiple 2020 codes were merged into this single 2025 code. 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.
