Export document library

Annotated, field-by-field reference templates for the three documents that decide whether a frozen meat consignment clears or waits: the halal certificate, the SIF veterinary health certificate and the export packing list. Use them to brief your team, to check a supplier's paperwork before shipment, or to see exactly which fields have to reconcile with each other.

These are blank reference templates, not certificates.

They carry no certificate number, issuer stamp or signature and have no legal or regulatory value. Real halal certificates are issued only by an accredited Islamic certification body recognised by the destination authority, and real health certificates only by MAPA on the model agreed with the importing country. Always confirm the current model with the issuing authority before use.

Templates

Three documents, annotated field by field

Each PDF is print ready on US Letter, marked as a template, and annotated with what each field must contain and where it has to match another document.

Halal

Export packing list

Issued by Exporter

The reconciliation document. Authorities match its lot codes, carton counts and weights against the invoice, the bill of lading and both certificates. Mismatches are the most frequent cause of hold at the port.

  • Ports, vessel, bill of lading, Incoterm and temperature set point
  • Carton level detail, one line per lot, with SIF plant and production date
