Halal Certification for Export to Malaysia
Achieving halal certification is virtually essential for businesses aiming to export food and drink, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals or chemicals to Malaysia. As a major halal market, Malaysia requires that products meet halal standards before entering this Halal market.
Halal Certification Europe (HCE) is proud to be approved by JAKIM (Malaysian Government) and continues to hold this certification since first obtaining it over a decade ago.
Only products which have been approved by an accredited JAKIM body, such as HCE, can be sold as Halal in the Malaysian market.
By partnering with Halal Certification Europe (HCE), your business can secure the JAKIM-approved certification necessary for market entry and build trust with halal consumers across Malaysia.
JAKIM Accreditation – Your Gateway to Malaysia’s Halal Market
Halal Certification Europe (HCE) is an accredited halal certification body recognised by JAKIM (the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia), Malaysia’s leading authority for halal certification.
With this accreditation, HCE certified products are eligible to carry the HCE halal logo, which can be used in Malaysia as a symbol of compliance with Malaysia’s halal regulations.
The JAKIM-approved halal certification allows you to:
- Access Malaysia’s thriving halal market
- Gain consumer trust by ensuring your products comply with the country’s halal standards.
- Meet regulatory requirements for halal imports, ensuring seamless market entry.
