Halal certification
Following a delay to the original October 17, 2024 date, halal certification will become mandatory for various imported food and beverage products, at a date to be set by Indonesia. This new implementation date will be no later than October 17, 2026.
- Depending on the food being exported, halal certification may be required.
If required, the importer and exporter are responsible for obtaining the halal certification for the exported products. The CFIA is not involved in halal certification
- The halal certificate must be issued by a halal certification body recognized by the Indonesian authorities. Consult this list of certification bodies that have been officially recognized and accredited by Indonesia's Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH). For additional information about halal certification requirements, contact the halal certification bodies directly as they will be best positioned to answer your questions
- You are encouraged to work with your importer to confirm the requirements and necessary documentation applicable to your products prior to export and in advance of contacting your local CFIA office
