Halal certificate for New Zealand: what and why
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 Oceania are tightly controlled, and importers may ask for apostilled certificates.
Authorities, banks and business partners in New Zealand 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. New Zealand accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
