Malaysia is a food lover’s paradise! With a mix of cultures and cuisines, the demand for imported food is always high. If you’re thinking of bringing in food products from overseas, here’s a quick and easy guide to help you navigate the process like a pro!
- Know the Authorities in Charge
Before you start, it’s crucial to know which agencies oversee food imports in Malaysia. Here are the key players:
- Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) – Ensures food safety and compliance with the Food Act 1983 and Food Regulations 1985.
- Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) – Regulates the import of meat, dairy, and animal-based products.
- Malaysian Quarantine and Inspection Services (MAQIS) – Handles agricultural and plant-based food imports.
- Halal Certification Bodies – For those importing Halal food, getting certification from JAKIM or a recognized foreign body is a must!
- Get the Necessary Approvals
Not all food products can enter Malaysia freely. You may need approvals such as:
- Import Permit – Required for meat, dairy, seafood, and plant-based products.
- Health & Safety Certificates – Such as lab test reports and compliance with MOH standards.
- Halal Certification – If your product is for the Muslim market.
- Labeling Requirements – Don’t Get Caught Off Guard!
Your product labels must be in Bahasa Malaysia or English and include:
- Product Name
- Ingredients List
- Expiry Date
- Manufacturer Details
- Halal Logo (if applicable)
Failure to comply can result in delays or even product rejection at customs!
- Customs Clearance – Avoiding Delays!
