Halal certificate for Norway: 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 Europe follow strict rules, and some importers ask for apostilled certificates as part of their supplier file.
Companies dealing with Norway 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. Norway accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
