Halal Products Certification
Following the enactment of Law No. 33 of 2014 on Guarantees for Halal Products (“Law 33/2014”), its implementing regulation, Government Regulation No. 31 of 2019 (“GR 31/2019”), was recently issued and came into effect on 3 May 2019.
In principle, Law 33/2014 requires that all products imported, distributed or traded in Indonesia be certified halal in accordance with Islamic principles. The certification is evidenced by a ‘halal certificate’. Products that are considered not halal are required to provide a sufficient statement or mark informing consumers of the non-halal nature of the products and are exempt from the halal certificate requirement.
