UAE Halal Certificate Legalization Services
When exporting food, beverage, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic products to the United Arab Emirates, a Halal Certificate is often a mandatory requirement. To be accepted by UAE customs and authorities, the Halal Certificate must be properly notarized, authenticated, and legalized through both U.S. and UAE channels. The US Arab Chamber of Commerce provides a reliable and professional Halal Certificate Legalization Service, ensuring that your documents are processed accurately and efficiently.
Our comprehensive service supports exporters in meeting all UAE import documentation requirements while minimizing delays and avoiding compliance issues.
Expedited Legalization Services
The Halal Certificate is considered as one of the trade documents that demands Commercial invoice and Certificate of Origin. We aim to facilitate this process for you by offering an expedited service which includes:
Expedited Service Fee: $160
Maryland notary, court and state fees: $30 (1 business day)
U.S. Department of State fee: $40 (9 business days)
Chamber of commerce fee: $70 (1 business day)
Embassy of UAE for Commercial Invoice: $45 (8 business days)
Embassy of UAE for Certificate Of Origin: $45
Note: You can submit your Invoice and Certificate of Origin certification digitally. If you don't require expedited service, you'll save $20 per document and your package will arrive by or after.
A Halal Certificate affirms that your products comply with Islamic dietary laws as outlined by certifying bodies. In the UAE, this document must be officially legalized before your goods can be accepted into the country.
Legalization ensures that:
The Halal Certificate is recognized by UAE customs authorities.
Your product is compliant with UAE halal import regulations.
You avoid delays, fines, or shipment rejections.
Your shipment moves smoothly through inspection and customs clearance.
UAE government entities require that the certificate be authenticated at the state, federal, and embassy levels to verify its authenticity and integrity.
Our Streamlined Legalization Process
The US Arab Chamber of Commerce handles the full lifecycle of the legalization process, eliminating the need for multiple vendors or manual embassy visits. Our streamlined process includes:
Notarization and State Certification: Your Halal Certificate is reviewed, notarized, and authenticated through Maryland’s state-level authorities.
U.S. Department of State Authentication: We submit your document to the U.S. Department of State for federal authentication.
Chamber of Commerce Endorsement: Your document is verified and endorsed by the US Arab Chamber of Commerce, recognized by the UAE Embassy.
Embassy of the UAE Legalization: We present the fully prepared document to the Embassy of the UAE in Washington DC for final legalization.
This multi-stage process ensures that your Halal Certificate meets the formal standards required by UAE authorities for import approval.
Compliance with UAE Import Regulations
The UAE has strict import and documentation standards, especially for products that fall under health, dietary, or religious categories. A Halal Certificate that is not properly legalized may be considered invalid by UAE customs officials, leading to costly delays, product seizures, or even rejection at the port of entry.
