18 October 2026 marks an important milestone in the implementation of Halal requirements in Indonesia.
For companies exporting to the Indonesian market, particularly in the fashion, footwear and accessories sectors, now is the time to check that products, materials, substances used in production, packaging and documentation have been correctly assessed against the applicable requirements.
What changes from 18 October 2026?
Indonesian legislation is progressively expanding the range of products subject to Halal requirements.
In the fashion sector, Halal assessment goes beyond the finished product, covering the entire supply chain involved in its manufacture. The assessment therefore includes materials and components, substances used, processing activities, suppliers and production processes, with the aim of ensuring that the product continues to meet Halal requirements throughout every stage of the supply chain and is not exposed to prohibited substances, materials or contamination.
For companies selling products in Indonesia, the key is therefore to understand which products fall within the scope of the requirements and to ensure that all relevant materials are properly mapped and supported by the documentation needed for the compliance process.
What should you check before the requirements take effect?
With the deadline approaching, companies should first clearly identify the products intended for the Indonesian market, establishing the scope of the assessment.
The next step is to check whether the relevant product categories fall within the scope of Halal requirements, based on their classification under Indonesian legislation.
This makes it possible to identify from the outset which products require further assessment to establish compliance.
