When you need a legalised halal certificate in Belgium
A halal certificate confirms that a product, or the plant that makes it, meets halal requirements. Meat, poultry, food ingredients, cosmetics and some pharmaceuticals need it for Muslim-majority markets. Halal certificates are issued by halal certification bodies in India; many importing countries accept only certifiers recognised by their own halal authority.
Food imports into Europe follow strict rules, and some importers ask for apostilled certificates as part of their supplier file.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Belgium usually ask for a legalised halal certificate for food and meat import clearance, retail listing or product registration for cosmetics and ingredients.
A halal certificate 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.
