A confirmed audit date.
Walk our auditor through your facility and records.
The audit takes one day. Most audits run live over video, with your team on the production floor. Some products and export markets need an on-site visit. The same checklist applies either way, and no certificate is issued until the file passes an independent Shariah and technical review.
Findings, the same day.
Independent Shariah and technical review of the audit report.
Your certificate, the HCC seal files for packaging, and a live entry on verify.halalcc.org.
Your certificate stays live through a yearly renewal audit — scheduled with you and priced on your original quote.
Certification is priced by scope: your products, your sites, your target markets. No two plants pay the same, so there is no price list. Here is how you get your price:
We review your products, sites, and target markets. Free, no obligation.
The quote lists each item, including the audit and any travel. The quoted price is the final price. You can forward it to your decision-maker as-is.
Nothing is due until you approve the quote. If the audit finds gaps, you receive corrective actions and a re-audit on the terms set in your quote. If HCC cannot approve your certification, the full fee is refunded.
The same audit day can also cover Vegan, Non-GMO, or Gluten-Free certificates.
Certification arrives as three things your buyers can act on:
Issued in your company’s name, after an independent Shariah and technical review.
Your certificate is published at verify.halalcc.org — buyers check its status in seconds.
Seal files ready for packaging and marketing, with clear usage rights in your agreement.
Every HCC-certified manufacturer submits the same eight documents. A dedicated expert sends you the list, the SOPs, and the templates, and helps you complete the file.

HCC — Halal Conformity Center — is a US-based halal certification body with offices in Brooklyn, NY and Amman, Jordan. We have certified manufacturers for 13+ years — 500+ so far, and 98% renew each year. An independent committee makes every certification decision, after a Shariah and technical review.
Whoever you certify with, put these in writing before you pay. Here are our answers:
| The question | HCC’s answer |
|---|---|
| How long will it take, in writing? | 10 business days from complete application to decision. |
| What happens if we’re not approved? | If HCC cannot approve your certification, the full fee is refunded. |
| How do our buyers verify the certificate? | Listed on the public registry at verify.halalcc.org. |
| Is the quote fixed? | Yes. The quote is itemized and final. |

10 business days for a clean application. Other certifiers commonly publish 6–8 weeks, and some up to 90 days.
Scope varies — products, ingredients, sites, target markets — so we can’t print one price for every plant. After a free consultation, you get an itemized quote within 24 hours: audit, travel, everything included.
Most audits are done live over video. Your team walks the auditor through the floor and the records. Some products and some export markets require an on-site visit. The checklist is the same either way.
No. The consultation is free, and nothing is due until you approve your itemized quote.
Certification runs on a yearly cycle. A yearly renewal audit keeps your certificate live — scheduled with you and priced on your original quote. Products or suppliers you add along the way are reviewed within 48 hours.
An ingredient list and supplier documents — we tell you which ones. Only high-risk and animal-origin ingredients need their own halal certificates. Shared facilities usually qualify through segregation and cleaning protocols, not new equipment. If you already run HACCP, SQF, BRCGS, ISO, or kosher, you have most of the paperwork already.
HCC — Halal Conformity Center. An independent committee reviews every file before a certificate is issued. Every certificate is listed at verify.halalcc.org.
Yes — through named partner recognitions: SFDA | Saudi Halal Center (Saudi Arabia), JAKIM (Malaysia), and ESMA/EIAC (UAE).
Yes. Your supplier’s certificate covers their facility and their products — not yours. Buyers ask for a certificate in your company’s name, covering your site and your processes. That is the certificate we issue.
It covers both: your facility and the products in its scope. Each site is audited and listed on its own certificate, under one agreement. The free consultation maps the structure that fits you.
Yes. A plant-based product can still contain alcohol-based flavors or additives, or share a line with non-halal products. Buyers ask for a certificate because it checks those things.
Only high-risk and animal-origin ingredients need their own certificates. The free consultation reviews your full list and tells you which supplier documents are needed.
Usually, yes — it comes down to segregation and cleaning protocols, not new equipment. The free consultation confirms this before you pay.
95% of applicants pass the first audit. If you don’t, you receive corrective actions and a re-audit on the terms set in your quote. If HCC cannot approve your certification, the full fee is refunded.
Yes. The process, the audit, and the certificate are the same.
Slaughter is performed by a trained Muslim slaughterman, with the invocation recited over each animal and a single-pass cut. The stunning rule depends on the export market. Some markets allow reversible stunning within set limits. Others allow none. We confirm your market’s rule first, then audit your slaughter records against it.
A product that contains pork can’t be halal certified. But a facility that also makes non-halal products usually can certify its halal lines — through segregation and cleaning protocols. Alcohol-based carriers in flavors are assessed case by case against your export market’s limits. The free consultation gives you a straight answer.
The records you built for kosher — supplier letters, segregation, traceability — cover much of the same ground. Animal-origin and high-risk ingredients still get a halal review.
Yes. Same form; we route you to the food-service track.
Yes. We sign an NDA on request, and confidential formula handling is standard — including for co-packers and private-label brands.
