The primary regulation for telecommunication products certification in Indonesia is PERMEN KOMINFO NOMOR 3 TAHUN 2024. In this regulation, some important topics related to telecommunication product certification such as definition, procedure, requirements, sanction, surveillance, labelling, and many more, are explained. However, there’s one thing that PERMEN KOMINFO NOMOR 3 TAHUN 2024 is lacking. It’s “the list of products which become the subject of telecommunication products certification in Indonesia.”
To address this gap, on November 7th, 2025, Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure released a new regulation called “KEPMEN KOMDIGI NOMOR 469 TAHUN 2025”. This new regulation primarily talks about the list of products which are covered by DJID certifications. The word “Products” here can be defined as “telecommunication products” or “non-telecommunication products that have telecommunication features”.
Along with the issuance of this new regulation, DJID held a webinar event on December 16th, 2025. Speaking in this webinar as the speaker, DJID is joined by customs officer socializing the content of this new regulation, as well as its implication to the importation process. What’s discussed in this webinar? Here’s the resume of this event:

Topics Discussed in KEPMEN KOMDIGI NOMOR 469 TAHUN 2025
The newly issued “KEPMEN KOMDIGI NOMOR 469 TAHUN 2025” is basically a guideline for us to determine whether our product is mandatory to do DJID certification or not. It lists 187 HS codes of products, consisting of telecommunication and non-telecommunication products, that become the subject of DJID certification. If your product is listed in that list, then most likely it will be mandatory to fulfil technical standard and obtain DJID certification. For your reference, here’s the PDF copy of KEPMEN KOMDIGI NOMOR 469 TAHUN 2025:
Structurally, KEPMEN KOMDIGI NOMOR 469 TAHUN 2025 consists of two parts: dictums and appendix. Dictums are presented in the third and fourth page of the regulation, whereas appendix is presented in the fifth until twenty-eight pages of the regulation. On dictums part, there are 7 points mentioned:
- FIRST: To stipulate a list of telecommunications tools and/or devices that must meet technical standards as set out in the Appendix, which is an integral part of this Ministerial Decree.SECOND: The list of telecommunications tools and/or devices as referred to in FIRST dictum includes telecommunication devices and/or other devices with telecommunications features.
- THIRD: The list of telecommunications tools and/or devices, as well as other tools and/or devices with telecommunications features, as referred to in FIRST and SECOND dictum, is compiled based on a harmonized system code in accordance with statutory provisions.
- FOURTH: The inclusion of the harmonized system code in this Ministerial Decree is intended as an administrative oversight instrument and does not constitute a reference for determining the harmonized system code for types of goods undergoing customs clearance.
- FIFTH: Telecommunications tools and/or devices, as well as other equipment and/or devices with telecommunications features that are not listed in the Appendix to this Ministerial Decree, are still required to meet the technical standards for telecommunications tools and/or devices in accordance with statutory provisions.
- SIXTH: Compliance with the technical standards referred to in Dictum FIRST and Dictum FIFTH shall be proven by telecommunications tools and/or devices certificate, unless otherwise stipulated by statutory provisions.
- SEVENTH: This Ministerial Decree shall come into effect 30 (thirty) calendar days from the date of its stipulation.
What we can highlight from the dictums above is that all products, consisting of telecommunication products and non-telecommunications products that have telecommunication features, that are listed in the appendix part of this ministerial decree, are covered within DJID certification scope. Or in other words, these products are mandatory to do DJID certification.
However, we must also remember that as stated in the fifth dictum, DJID certification does not cover products listed in the appendix only. This dictum emphasizes that other devices that are not listed in the Appendix of this Ministerial Decree but they have telecommunication features, are also required to meet the technical standards.
This means that to determine whether the product is mandatory to do DJID certification or not, is not completely sourced from the list in KEPMEN KOMDIGI NOMOR 469 TAHUN 2025. But we also need to see “whether the product has telecommunication feature or not”. If the product is listed on the list, but it doesn’t have telecommunication features, then it is not mandatory to do DJID certification. On the contrary, if the product is not listed on the list, but it has telecommunication features, then it is mandatory to do DJID certification
Implication of KEPMEN KOMDIGI NOMOR 469 TAHUN 2025 in Import Process
To socialize the new regulation, DJID held a webinar event on December 16th, 2025. In this event, they invited some speakers from customs and from DJID internal as well. The main points discussed in this even is how the implication of KEPMEN KOMDIGI NOMOR 469 TAHUN 2025 takes part in the importation process. To let you know about the details, here are some highlights from this webinar event:
DJID Certificate Surveillance Mechanism
As regulated in the PERMEN KOMINFO NOMOR 3 TAHUN 2024, surveillance practice for DJID certificate is conducted through post-border mechanism. In post-market surveillance mechanism, certificate checking will be the domain of related ministry, or in this case is Communication and Digital. It will be conducted after the product is released from customs. Surveillance activity can be performed in the market or store shelf through market surveillance mechanism, checking the product on warehouse, in the distribution line, and etc.
However, in the webinar of KEPMEN KOMDIGI NOMOR 469 TAHUN 2025 socialization, customs explained that this post border surveillance doesn’t mean that customs will completely ignore the existence of DJID certificate of the imported products. If they find out that the product is subject to the DJID certification, customs will check whether the product already has DJID certificate or not. If not, they will send a notification to DJID so DJID can closely monitor the product or the importer.
This checking mechanism is possible through the integration between Customs’s system called CEISA 4.0 and DJID system called SIANTI. Before clearance process, importer needs to submit “Product Import Notification” or PPI application to customs through CEISA 4.0. In this system, importer has to complete product data, including choosing either the product has telecommunication feature or not. If importer chooses that the product has telecommunication feature, when completing the data in CEISA 4.0, they need to click on “Spesifikasi Khusus” or “Special Specification” menu which will open the form for special specification as shown below:
This form needs to be completed accurately, especially on the “origin country, model name, and brand name”. After importer click “submit”, CEISA 4.0 system will synchronize the inputted data to DJID system (SIANTI). From there, SIANTI will give feedback to customs by notifying whether the product is already certified by DJID or not.
If after data synchronization between two systems it’s identified that the product already has DJID certificate, then customs will release the product. But if the product is identified as not having the DJID certification yet, customs will send notification to DJID. So later on, DJID will closely monitor the importer to make sure that the product is certified before it’s being sold to the buyer. Once again, not having DJID certificate won’t be a stopper during importation process. However, it will trigger customs notification to DJID which can caused the importer being the subject of DJID supervision.
In this process, especially when submitting import application document in the CEISA 4.0 portal, please make sure that the information about origin country, brand name, and model name of the product is correctly inputted. Please also make sure that the inputted information is the same as the information mentioned on the DJID certificate (if the product already has DJID certificate). So, the data between CEISA 4.0 and SIANTI will match, and the product is identified as “certified”. To give you a better vision of this cross-systems synchronization between customs and DJID, here is the chart:
Consequence of Cross-systems Synchronization between Customs and DJID
- And then, what’s the consequence of this cross-system synchronization between customs and DJID? The first logical consequence is that we need to make sure the certificate is issued before importation process. This is to prevent customs from sending “uncertified product” notification to DJID. Then, what happen if the products are already imported but the certificate is still not issued? Either it’s because the certification process is not started yet or because it’s still in ongoing, we need to ask customer to keep and not selling the product before the certificate is issued. So at least, the importer will get only administrative sanction (warning letter), not criminality sanction from DJID.
- The second consequence is that importer must be the certificate holder of the product. Importer cannot use certificate from another importer to import, although they are in the same company group. This is because during import process, customs will check the existence of DJID certificate of the product. If importer is not the certificate holder, it will trigger customs will keep sending “uncertified product” notification to DJID, making the importer the surveillance and supervision target from DJID or labelled as “High Risk Company”.
- Third one, this is actually an existing rule in DJID. But, during the webinar DJID wanted to emphasize again; when importing component for the spare part, if the component has radio feature, then this component must be certified by DJID. For example, a mobile phone company imports Bluetooth or Wi-Fi module, this module must be certified by DJID. This is because when the component has radio feature and importer state it on the CEISA 4.0, customs will look for the certification data in the SIANTI system.
Validity of KEPMEN KOMDIGI NO 469 TAHUN 2025
Lastly, we’d like to inform regarding the validity of KEPMEN KOMDIGI NO 469 TAHUN 2025. According to the seventh dictum of this regulation, it’s stated that this new regulation will come into effect in 30 calendar days from its stipulation date. This regulation was stipulated in Jakarta, on November 7th, 2025. Therefore, it’s been valid from December 7th, 2025 onward.
That’s all we need to inform. With the KEPMEN KOMDIGI NOMOR 469 TAHUN 2025 being issued by DJID, we are glad that finally, manufacturer, distributor, importer, or brand holder at least have the guideline in determining whether their products are subject to DJID certification or not. And it’s already clear about who should be certificate holder. However, we understand that the implication of this new regulation can have many biased interpretations.
