Overview

Why Sri Lanka 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 and agricultural imports in Asia are subject to health checks, and buyers may ask for legalised certificates to support import permits.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Sri Lanka 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 attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the High Commission of Sri Lanka in New Delhi.
