How can I obtain halal certification for exports to Islamic countries?

Halal means 'permissible' in Arabic. Halal certification proves that a product is produced in accordance with Islamic law (Sharia).

Halal certification is carried out in 6 stages, from pre-preparation to post-management.

Many companies make the same mistakes during the halal certification process. Knowing this in advance can save you time and costs.
