Importing to Indonesia and Brunei

SNI Certificate

What is an SNI Certificate and why is it needed?

Ensuring the safety and compliance of products with Indonesian regulatory standards is paramount for foreign companies seeking to export to Indonesia. The Indonesian National Standard (SNI) certificate serves as mandatory validation for specific products before their importation or commercialisation within the country.

The SNI certification streamlines the process for businesses to market their products in Indonesia, aligning with standards outlined in the World Trade Organization (WTO) Code of Good Practice. This requirement encourages widespread adoption by Indonesian businesses across various product categories.
