When you need a legalised health certificate in Kuwait
An export health certificate confirms that a consignment of food or animal products was inspected and is fit for human consumption. It is common for meat, seafood, dairy, eggs, honey and processed food. Health certificates for food and animal products are issued by the competent Indian authority for the product, such as export inspection or animal quarantine authorities.
Food imports into the Middle East are closely checked for health and halal compliance, so legalised certificates are usually requested with each consignment.
Companies dealing with Kuwait are most often asked for a legalised health certificate during food import clearance, as well as for veterinary or food safety approval and retail and distributor registration.
A health 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 Embassy of Kuwait in New Delhi.
The Kuwait Embassy may require submission through its appointed service centre in India, and documents are normally attested again by Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs after arrival. We manage the India side end to end.
