To optimize supervision and distribution of basic needs products by the Indonesian government and as the implementation of Presidential Regulation Number 71 of 2015 on Determination and Storage of Basic Needs and Important Products, Ministry of Trade Regulation Number 20/M-DAG/PER/3/2017 on Registration of Basic Needs Products Distributor (“
MOT Reg 20/2017”) was promulgated in April 2017.
MOT Reg 20/2017 applies for distributor of basic needs products, sub-distributor of basic needs products and agent of basic needs products. Meanwhile, attachment I of the MOT Reg 20/2017 elaborates types of basic need products as follow:
Registration certificate for distributor of basic needs products (also known as Tanda
Daftar Perusahaan Usaha Industri Barang Kebutuhan Pokok - “TDPUP Bapok”) will be issued by the Ministry of Trade through the Director of Basic Needs and Important Products.
Application of TDPUP Bapok can be submitted through Integrated License Information System (
Sistem Informasi Perizinan Terpadu – “SIPT”) provided that the applicant should firstly obtain access rights to the SIPT. In the SIPT system, some documents such as business registration certificate (
TDP), Tax ID (
NPWP), identity card or passport of the director, trading business license and types of basic needs products that shall be traded. In case of force majeure on the SIPT system, application might be done manually at the Head office of Ministry of Trade.
Approval or rejection on the application of TDPUP Bapok shall be informed in 3 (three) working days. Its approval shall be in the form of digital signature, paperless and attach QR Code. TDPUP Bapok shall be valid for 5 (five) years and should be renewed for every 5 (five) years via SIPT system.
Holder of TDPUP Bapok is required to submit monthly report on distribution of basic needs products through SIPT system. In case of the price of basic needs products beyond or below the government reference price, the government can make special request to holder of TDPUP Bapok to provide procurement and distribution of basic needs products data or information.
Lastly, violation on any provisions in the Regulation may cause revocation of TDPUP Bapok with prior written warning. For instance, failure to renew the expired license shall cause the Director of Basic Needs and Important Products issue a warning letter, freeze business activities or revoke the existing TDPUP Bapok.
