When entering or trading in the Indonesian food and beverage market, it is crucial to have your products or services certified as Halal to meet the GR 39/2021 regulation.

Following a compliance grace period, businesses must obtain a Halal certification for their food, beverage, and related services by no later than October 17, 2024.   Failure to comply before the deadline could lead to administrative sanctions, including written warnings, fines, or removal of goods and services from the market.

The regulation also mandates Halal certification of various of goods and services, each with sector-specific deadlines. To prevent missing these deadlines, it is advisable for businesses to start the process early. As for the other sectors the compliance period has been extended beyond 2024. For an example Halal Cosmetics is extended to October 17, 2026.
