The Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation officially announced today that it has postponed the implementation of its Halal certification requirement for milk and dairy products until October 1, 2022. As such, the entry of imports of milk and dairy products unaccompanied by an ISEG Halal Halal certificate into Egypt should be allowed until October 1, 2022.

USDEC continues to work closely with FAS and USTR, and we will provide further information and updates once they are obtained. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact Bryan Jacoby at bjacoby@usdec.org.
