How long does traditional medicine registration take? →
Traditional medicine and herbal products, including jamu, are registered with BPOM. A domestically produced product carries a TR number and an imported one carries a TI number. Standardized herbal products may carry an HT code. The registration is valid for five years.
BPOM places particular emphasis on physical samples for laboratory testing in this category. Halal certification applies, with the 17 October 2026 deadline under GR 42/2024, and registration runs through a local license holder.
The prefix on a registration number tells you the product type and, for many categories, whether it was made in Indonesia or imported.
| Prefix | Product type | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| NA, NB, NC, ND, NE | Cosmetic | Notification. The second letter is the region of manufacture: A Asia (incl. Indonesia), B Australia, C Europe, D Africa, E the Americas. |
| NK | Cosmetic | Older cosmetic registration scheme. |
| MD | Processed food | Produced in Indonesia (dalam negeri). |
| ML | Processed food | Imported (luar negeri). |
| SD, SI | Health supplement | SD produced domestically, SI imported. |
| TR, TI | Traditional medicine | Jamu and herbal products. TR domestic, TI imported. |
| DK, DBL, DTL, GKL | Pharmaceutical drug | Marketing authorization (izin edar / NIE). The class letters mark over-the-counter, limited, or prescription status. |
| AKD, AKL | Medical device | Registered with the Ministry of Health, not BPOM. AKD domestic, AKL imported. |
| PKD, PKL | Household (PKRT) | Household and personal-care products, regulated by the Ministry of Health. PKD domestic, PKL imported. |
TR marks domestically produced traditional medicine; TI marks an imported product. Both are valid for five years.
HT marks a standardized herbal product, a tier above basic jamu. Confirm the exact classification with your registration partner.
