When you need a legalised health certificate in Taiwan
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 and agricultural imports in Asia are subject to health checks, and buyers may ask for legalised certificates to support import permits.
In Taiwan, a legalised health certificate is typically requested for food import clearance; it is also used 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 Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC) in New Delhi.
