On November 6, 2025, Indonesia submitted notification G/TBT/N/IDN/160/Add.2 to the WTO concerning the Harmonized System (HS) codes for product types that are required to obtain halal certification, covering cosmetics, food and beverages, food additives, and natural medicines.

The draft decree introduces a comprehensive and legally binding list of HS codes that will serve as the primary reference for businesses. It is intended to assist importers and/or official representatives in applying for the registration of foreign halal certificates, understanding the scope of mandatory halal certification, and submitting applications to Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) or recognized foreign halal certification bodies.
