Why Egypt 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 imports into the Middle East are closely checked for health and halal compliance, so legalised certificates are usually requested with each consignment.
In Egypt, a legalised halal certificate is typically requested for food and meat import clearance; it is also used for retail listing and product registration for cosmetics and ingredients.
A halal certificate issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Egypt in New Delhi.
Egypt does not accept the apostille. Documents are legalised by the Embassy of Egypt in New Delhi, and Egyptian ministries often expect an Arabic translation.
