Key provisions
The following are the key provisions contained in the new regulation of Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025:
- Ministerial Decree No. 3 of 2024 concerning the Certification of Telecommunications Equipment and/or Telecommunications Devices currently has a derivative regulation, namely Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025 concerning the List of Telecommunications Tools and/or Telecommunications Devices that Must Meet Technical Standards.
- There are a total of 187 Harmonized System (HS) Codes regulated in Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025. See the complete list in our article Indonesia: Update the List of Telecom Products Requiring Certification (Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025).
- The regulations are divided into two categories: telecommunications tools and/or devices, and other tools and/or devices with telecommunications features.
- Ministerial Regulation No. 16 of 2018 contains two HS Codes that are border-related, while the latest regulations are all post-border.
Reconciliation scheme
The reconciliation scheme for telecommunications equipment certification documents is divided into six stages. The scheme is as follows:
- DJID certification application
- Certificate issuance and submission of licensing data to SINSW
- Submission of Import Customs Notification (PPI) documents to Customs and Border Protection
- Submission of PPI documents to the Indonesian National Single Window (SINSW) system
- Documents with post-border restrictions are forwarded back to Customs and Border Protection(post-border supervision, no validation (not a stopper))
- Post-border licensing notification data is sent to KOMDIGI.
Penalties for violations
Since the enactment of the new regulation of Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025 on December 7, 2025, every business operator who does not comply with the regulations will be subject to penalties. Administrative penalties are based on Government Regulation (PP) 28 of 2025 concerning the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing.
Administrative sanctions are explained in articles 500 to 504. These articles stipulate that sanctions for business operators who manufacture, assemble, or import telecommunications equipment are divided into several categories:
- Those who do not have a certificate
- Certificates that are not in accordance with regulations
- Those who do not have a certificate or meet technical standards
- Certificate documents that are not valid
- Those who do not make payment after the certificate is issued
The sanctions imposed will vary depending on the category of violation. However, in general, business operators who do not comply with regulations will be subject to the following sanctions:
- Written warning
- Sealing of devices
- Recall of all devices that have been traded or used
- Termination of certificate services (The duration of suspension depends on the category of violation)
- Certificate revocation
- Administrative fines
- Criminal sanctions
Administrative fines related to violations of telecommunications devices that do not have certificates or certificates that are not in accordance with PP 42 of 2023 and Ministerial Regulation (PM) 9 of 203.
Ultimately, all devices listed in the new regulation of Ministerial Decree No. 469 of 2025, totaling 187 HS codes, must apply for DJID certification. Devices without telecommunications features that are listed in the HS codes can directly confirm KOMDIGI as the post-border control authority.
Business operators must pay attention to this new regulation to avoid applicable sanctions. This way, telecommunications devices that want to be marketed in Indonesia will not experience obstacles at Customs and Border Protection, sealing, or recall because the devices do not yet have DJID certification.
