Why Lebanon asks for a legalised health certificate
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.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Lebanon usually ask for a legalised health certificate for food import clearance, veterinary or food safety approval or 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 Lebanon in New Delhi.
