Halal certificate for Nigeria: 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 African markets are checked against health requirements, and legalised certificates help clear consignments without delay.
In Nigeria, 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 High Commission of Nigeria in New Delhi.
