DGFT extends halal certification transition for Egypt meat exports
In short
The DGFT has given exporters three more months to meet the mandatory i-CAS halal certification rule for certain meat exports to Egypt.
This matters for exporters because it delays the compliance deadline and gives them extra time to adjust their paperwork and processes.
What the reporting says
The DGFT has extended the transition period for mandatory i-CAS halal certification for specified meat exports to Egypt by three months. The notification gives exporters more time to comply with the certification requirement.
Why it matters
The DGFT’s three-month extension for mandatory i-CAS halal certification on specified meat exports to Egypt gives exporters more time to meet the rule. The change directly affects trade compliance for shipments going to Egypt and may ease near-term adjustment for exporters.
