Why the Dominican Republic asks for a legalised halal certificate
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 importers in the Americas may need apostilled certificates to obtain import permits.
Companies dealing with the Dominican Republic are most often asked for a legalised halal certificate during food and meat import clearance, as well as for retail listing and 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. The Dominican Republic accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
