Kuwait Makes Halal Certification Easier

Kuwait Makes Halal Certification Easier

Kuwait has removed the requirement for halal certificate endorsement by the Arab American Chamber of Commerce and now requires only endorsement of the certificate by the Kuwait Embassy or Consulate in the U.S. (or any other Arab Embassy or Consulate in the absence of the Kuwait Embassy or Consulate).  Also, paragraph B in the Handling/Storage Requirements dealing with product arrival and expiration dates has been eliminated.  This is now a commercial arrangement. See the Kuwait Requirements in the online FSIS Export Library.

Next Gulfood Show Will Have Same Exemptions as the Last

The online FSIS Export Library has been updated to show that samples intended for the annual Gulfood Show in the United Arab Emirates have the same exemption as the Gulfood Show which took place in February of 2010. See the UAE Requirements in the online FSIS Export Library.
