Indonesia's Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan) regulates the import (Pemasukan) and export (Pengeluaran) of animal-origin feed materials ("Bahan Pakan Asal Hewan", abbreviated BPAH) under Permentan 13/2019. This is the first-hand primary text (recovered 2026-07-30 via FAO FALEX's verbatim reproduction of the official gazette; the .go.id hosts are Cloudflare-blocked even to Tavily).
Framework (verified C1 substrings of Permentan 13/2019)
- Subject matter: the regulation governs "Pemasukan dan Pengeluaran Bahan Pakan Asal Hewan" (import and export of animal-origin feed materials).
- Definition (Pasal 1): "BPAH adalah bahan yang berasal dari ruminansia atau unggas" (BPAH = material originating from ruminants or poultry, processed or unprocessed).
- Import license required (Pasal 3(1)): "Pemasukan BPAH dapat dilakukan oleh Pelaku Usaha, setelah mendapat Izin Pemasukan dari Menteri" (import of BPAH may be done by a business actor only after obtaining an Import License from the Minister).
- Use restriction (Pasal 5(2)): "BPAH yang dimasukkan sebagaimana dimaksud pada ayat (1) hanya digunakan untuk pembuatan Pakan unggas, akuatik, dan babi" (imported BPAH may only be used to make poultry, aquatic, and pig feed).
- Mandatory health certificate (Pasal 33(1)): "Setiap Pemasukan BPAH harus disertai dengan Sertifikat Kesehatan Hewan (Health Certificate) yang ditanda tangani oleh otoritas veteriner Negara Asal" (every import must be accompanied by a Health Certificate signed by the country-of-origin veterinary authority).
- Origin-disease-status requirements (Pasal 10(1)): for ruminant-origin BPAH the country of origin must "berstatus negligible BSE risk atau controlled BSE Risk" (negligible or controlled BSE risk) and have a specified FMD status.
- Importer obligation (Pasal 39(1)): "Pelaku Usaha yang melakukan Pemasukan sebagaimana dimaksud dalam Pasal 3 ayat (1) wajib memiliki Izin Pemasukan" (the importer must hold an Import License).
- License validity (Pasal 40): "Izin Pemasukan BPAH sebagaimana dimaksud dalam Pasal 39 ayat (1) berlaku 3 (tiga) bulan" (the Import License is valid for 3 months).
Why this matters
Permentan 13/2019 is Indonesia's core control regime for cross-border animal-origin feed materials (the "P4" import-control subject that was previously honest-pending). It requires an Import License, a country-of-origin veterinary Health Certificate, BSE/FMD disease-status vetting, and restricts imported BPAH to poultry/aquatic/pig feed. Pet-food importers bringing animal-derived ingredients (e.g. poultry-meal, meat-bone meal) into Indonesia fall under this regime. The topic is first-hand (FAO FALEX verbatim gazette text), so ID P4 moves from honest-pending to first-hand-covered.
