Introduction 

On March 27, 2026, the Government issued Government Regulation Number 15 of 2026 on the Types and Tariffs of Non-Tax State Revenues Applicable to the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority ("GR 15/2026"). GR 15/2026 regulates the types and tariff rates of Non-Tax State Revenues (Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak, “PNBP”) at the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan, “BPOM”) and aims to improve the quality, accountability, and efficiency of public services in the implementation of drug and food certification and supervision in Indonesia.

Closing

GR 15/2026 replaces GR 32/2017 and re-regulates the types and tariffs of Non-Tax State Revenues at the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority. Through GR 15/2026, the Government groups PNBP services into four areas, namely registration, notification, and evaluation services; inspection services; certification and application permit issuance services; and administrative fines. GR 15/2026 also governs various tariffs for registration, evaluation, inspection, and certification services in the sectors of drugs, natural medicines, health supplements, quasi drugs, processed food, and cosmetics, including inspection tariffs for overseas imported product manufacturing facilities and various production facility certifications. In addition, all Non-Tax State Revenues at BPOM must be deposited into the State Treasury, while a tariff of IDR 0.00 or 0.00% may be imposed based on certain considerations in accordance with applicable provisions. For Micro and Small Enterprises producing goods domestically, GR 15/2026 provides an IDR 0.00 tariff for registration and notification services, as well as several certification services and Export Certificate issuance services. On the other hand, businesses applying for inspections of imported product manufacturing facilities or overseas bioequivalence testing centers remain obligated to bear the transportation, accommodation, and consumption costs of the officers separately from the applicable PNBP tariffs. Meanwhile, service applications submitted prior to the enactment of GR 15/2026 will continue to be processed based on the previously applicable tariffs, and GR 15/2026 takes effect 60 (sixty) days from its date of promulgation. Therefore, businesses must review their relevant registration, evaluation, inspection, and certification needs and adjust their cost planning and licensing processes in accordance with the provisions set forth in GR 15/2026.
