Dear Member,

In the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, with reference to the letter dated 13.01.2023, numbered E-14145634-557.03-00081922966 and titled “Halal Accreditation”, the letter referenced above, conveyed to our Union by the Halal Accreditation Agency (HAK), announces that, pursuant to Law No. 7060 on Certain Regulations Regarding the Halal Accreditation Agency, as amended by Articles 10 and 11 of the “Law on the Establishment and Duties of the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) and Exporters' Associations and on Amendments to Certain Laws” published in the Official Gazette dated 04/06/2022 and numbered 31856, organisations issuing halal certificates for all products and services to be placed on the domestic market, including imports, are required to be accredited by HAK.

It is stated that the said amendment will be put into practice after a 1 (one)-year transition period, that after the transition period an administrative fine of up to 1 (one) million TL will be imposed by HAK on organisations found to issue halal certificates without accreditation, and that, as of 04/06/2023, the date on which the above-mentioned Law amendment will enter into force, the said certificates must have been obtained from reliable certification bodies accredited by HAK.

Kind regards,

Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry
