1. General Import License (API-U): Applicable to general trading companies engaged in trading or distribution activities, such as clothing and apparel, household goods, paper products, medical devices, etc.

2. Manufacturer Import License (API-P): Applicable to manufacturing companies that import raw materials or materials to support the production process due to production, such as semiconductor materials, display materials, biomedical materials, high-performance fibers, high-performance membrane materials, etc.

According to regulations issued by the Ministry of Trade, since 2011, the Indonesian government has stipulated that the same company cannot hold both API-U and API-P licenses. If a company is engaged in both manufacturing and trading activities, it needs to establish two companies to meet the requirements.
