When you need a legalised halal certificate in Malaysia
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 and agricultural imports in Asia are subject to health checks, and buyers may ask for legalised certificates to support import permits.
Companies dealing with Malaysia 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 attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the High Commission of Malaysia in New Delhi.
Malaysia is not an apostille country, so commercial documents need Malaysia High Commission legalisation after MEA attestation.
Malaysia generally accepts halal certificates only from foreign halal bodies recognised by JAKIM, so check your certifier's recognition before legalising.
