How to start an Indonesian export company

There are a few provisions to be met when creating an export company – the first step is establishing a legal entity. There are several types of legal entities that you can set up, including a CV, firm, PT, as well as a cooperative.

Make sure to set up your company properly. Before exporting from Indonesia, an exporter must have a Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP). Other than that, there are business licenses to obtain:

  • Trading Business License (SIUP) from the Ministry of Trade.
  • Industrial License from the Ministry of Industry.
  • Domestic Investment Business License (PMDN) or Foreign Investment (PMA) issued by the Ministry of Investment (BKPM).
  • Export Identity Number (APE).
  • To expedite the process of establishing an exporter company, our experts can help you obtain the permits and licenses you need without any hassle.
