Alcohol License – Who is it for and what are the benefits
As a multicultural nation, Indonesia has its own way of dealing with alcohol distribution within the country. While not being proscribed entirely, the existence of alcohol in Indonesia is likely limited and goes under strict regulations. That requires people who would like to produce, sell, or distribute alcohol should obtain the right licenses to make sure their business will not run afoul of the law.
Any type of business producing, selling, or distributing alcohol in Indonesia must register for an Alcohol License and obtain Industrial Business License (Izin Usaha Industri – IUI) through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system. LetsMoveIndonesia assists your business to run through the correct way to apply for an Alcohol license and makes sure your license is being handled efficiently.
