When you need a legalised health certificate in Uruguay
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 importers in the Americas may need apostilled certificates to obtain import permits.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Uruguay 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 notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Uruguay accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
