Focusing on New Indonesia Market Access Regulations, Building Fast-Track Channels for Chinese Product Exports

Shanghai, March 20, 2026 — China Halal Certification (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (CHCS) held its first shareholders' meeting of 2026 at its Shanghai headquarters. Shareholder representatives from both Chinese and Indonesian sides, along with the core management team, attended the meeting. In-depth discussions were conducted on topics including Indonesia's mandatory Halal product import policy, the challenges and opportunities facing Chinese exporters, and how to establish more efficient and convenient certification service channels. Multiple strategic consensuses were reached during the meeting.

Indonesia's Mandatory Certification Deadline Approaches, Chinese Enterprises Face Critical Window Period

According to the relevant regulations of BPJPH (the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency) of Indonesia, Halal certification will officially enter its mandatory implementation phase in October 2026. By that time, all food, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and related products entering the Indonesian market must possess legitimate Halal certification.

The implementation of this policy means Chinese exporters will face a new round of market access challenges. How to complete certification efficiently and compliantly has become a core issue that many companies exporting to Indonesia must urgently address.

The meeting conducted an in-depth analysis of the common challenges Chinese enterprises currently face during the certification process, including limited understanding of Indonesian regulatory systems, unclear certification procedures, time-consuming preparation of application materials, and lack of criteria for selecting certification bodies. These pain points not only affect certification efficiency but may also result in missed critical market windows.

Leveraging Official Authorization Advantages, Building a Support Platform for Chinese Exporters

As an officially authorized certification body of BPJPH in China, CHCS has always been committed to serving Chinese enterprises with professional expertise. This shareholders' meeting clarified that CHCS will further leverage its "certification authority" role, focusing on core functions such as auditing, certificate issuance, and surveillance to ensure that every certificate issued can withstand official scrutiny.

Meanwhile, to help Chinese enterprises navigate Indonesia's market access requirements more smoothly, CHCS will collaborate with professional market service providers to jointly establish a comprehensive service chain from consultation to certification completion. With the assistance of professional teams, enterprises can clearly understand certification procedures, efficiently prepare application documents, and systematically establish Halal Assurance Systems, thereby significantly shortening certification timelines and reducing trial-and-error costs.

The meeting emphasized that CHCS will consistently adhere to the service principles of transparency, professionalism, and rigor, helping Chinese enterprises obtain Halal certification officially recognized by Indonesian authorities with the shortest detours and the clearest pathways.

Deepening China-Indonesia Collaboration, Enhancing Service Precision

To further improve service efficiency for exporting enterprises, the meeting conducted a detailed review of the collaboration mechanisms between the Chinese and Indonesian teams. Both parties agreed to establish closer information communication and process coordination mechanisms to ensure efficient synergy in key areas such as standard interpretation, document review, and on-site audits.

Indonesian shareholder representatives provided detailed insights into the latest BPJPH policy developments and audit key points, offering first-hand authoritative information to help CHCS better serve Chinese enterprises. The Chinese team, based on the actual situation of the Chinese market, proposed specific plans to optimize enterprise engagement processes and enhance service response speed.

Both parties agreed that as the mandatory implementation deadline approaches, CHCS must be fully prepared to help Chinese enterprises gain a competitive edge in the Indonesian market with more professional and efficient services.

Building Long-Term Value, Supporting China-Indonesia Economic and Trade Cooperation

The meeting conducted strategic discussions regarding CHCS's development direction for the next three years. The shareholders' meeting clarified that CHCS will continue to deepen its presence in the Chinese market, continuously improve its service system, and expand service depth, providing Chinese enterprises with comprehensive support from certification to compliant export.

In the future, CHCS will further integrate resources from both China and Indonesia, exploring additional value-added services in areas such as industry research, information sharing, and trade matchmaking, helping certified enterprises better expand into the Indonesian market and achieve the transition from "compliant entry" to "sustainable development."

Serving Chinese Exporters, Jointly Exploring the Blue Ocean of the Indonesian Market

A representative from CHCS stated: "Indonesia is one of the most important destinations for Chinese enterprises going global, and Halal certification is the key gateway for Chinese products to enter the Indonesian market. As BPJPH's officially authorized certification body in China, we have both the responsibility and the capability to help Chinese enterprises complete certification efficiently and compliantly, allowing them to avoid unnecessary detours and seize opportunities in fierce international competition. This shareholders' meeting serves as an opportunity to further integrate the superior resources of both China and Indonesia, building an even smoother fast-track channel for Chinese enterprises exporting to Indonesia."

The successful convening of this shareholders' meeting marks a solid step forward for CHCS in strategic coordination, service upgrading, and team integration. CHCS will continue to uphold its service philosophy of professionalism, transparency, and rigor, safeguarding Chinese enterprises on their journey to the Indonesian market.
