Trade or commercial licence for Belgium: what and why
Licences prove that your business is allowed to manufacture or trade a product: municipal trade licences, factory licences, drug manufacturing licences, FSSAI licences and similar permits. Trade, factory, manufacturing, drug and FSSAI licences are issued by municipal, state or central authorities depending on the activity.
European partners sometimes ask for apostilled licences and registrations as part of supplier due diligence.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Belgium usually ask for a legalised trade or commercial licence for product registration by regulators, plant or supplier approval or tenders.
A trade or commercial licence issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Belgium accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
