Perdagangan Eceran Bahan Baku Farmasi dan Alat
🛒 Section G — Wholesale & Retail Trade
Retail of pharmaceutical raw materials (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients / APIs) and miscellaneous health-adjacent products — bulk pharmaceutical ingredients, chemical synthesis intermediates, lab reagents, and specialty health items that are not finished medicines (apotek = 47721) and not consumer medical devices (47725). The customer is typically a pharmaceutical manufacturer, compounding pharmacy, clinical laboratory, or research institution — not the end patient buying off a shelf.

→ Submit periodic business activity reports to regulator
Single scale in PP 28/2025 data: Medium-High risk (Menengah Tinggi). NIB + Izin required — not automatic. Issued by Bupati/Walikota within 20 working days — the longest processing time of any retail code in this section.
Mandatory regulatory approvals on top of OSS licensing
- BPOM approval per substance — every Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient requires a separate distribution authorization from BPOM. GMP documentation from the supplier, Certificate of Analysis per batch, BPOM product file submission
- Izin from Kemenkes — Ministry of Health permit for dealing in pharmaceutical raw materials
- Import permit — if importing APIs: Angka Pengenal Impor (API-U or API-P) + Nomor Induk Kepabeanan (NIK) from Bea Cukai; plus Kemenkes specific import authorization for controlled APIs

Direct match from KBLI 2020 (MATCH_LANGSUNG). Code and scope unchanged — pharmaceutical raw materials retail has been a consistently regulated category. PP 28/2025 adds the formal OSS licensing pathway but does not change the underlying BPOM/Kemenkes requirements.
Bali Intelligence
🧪 Pharma Raw Materials in Bali (Niche Reality)
- This is a small, specialized market concentrated in Denpasar and Sanur where clinics, compounding pharmacies, and aesthetic medicine practices are located
- Most demand comes from: compounding pharmacies (racikan resep), aesthetic clinics sourcing cosmeceutical actives, veterinary compounders, and research institutions (Universitas Udayana)
- Volume play is limited in Bali; the real Indonesian pharma raw materials market is in Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung near manufacturing clusters
🎯 Where PMA Adds Genuine Value
- Specialty API importing — foreign pharma companies with access to European/US GMP-certified APIs that Indonesian manufacturers cannot source locally
- Lab reagents and diagnostics — importing high-purity reagents for clinical labs and diagnostic centers; Bali's growing medical tourism sector creates demand
- Cosmeceutical actives — the boundary between pharma raw materials and cosmetic actives is thin; specialty actives used in aesthetic medicine (peptides, hyaluronic acid bulk, etc.)
⚠ Critical Compliance Points
- Apoteker is non-negotiable — you cannot get BPOM or Kemenkes approvals without a licensed pharmacist on staff as Penanggung Jawab
- Cold chain compliance — many APIs require controlled temperature storage (2–8°C or 15–25°C). BPOM inspects storage facilities
- Per-substance approval — each new API requires a separate BPOM process. Adding a new substance mid-operation means restarting the approval cycle for that substance
- Controlled substance list — some APIs are narkotika/psikotropika precursors; additional BNN authorization required. Do not assume all APIs are equivalent
- 20 hari = working days — longest business license processing time in retail. BPOM and Kemenkes clearances must come FIRST
