A worldwide network
of Halal authorities.
HCC cooperates directly with national Halal authorities and coordination bodies. Through that network, an HCC certificate is recognized in the destination markets your product ships to — reaching 180+ markets in all.
Two distinct things, never conflated.
HCC holds direct cooperation agreements with a network of partner bodies. Recognition in any given export market flows through that network — it is never claimed unilaterally. We keep the two ideas separate on purpose: the partners HCC works with, and the markets a certified product reaches as a result.
If you are still deciding which halal certifying body to work with, our guide to halal certification bodies in the USA explains how to test a recognition claim at the source rather than taking any certifier’s word for it — including ours.

From cooperation agreement to a market your product can enter.
Cooperation, established
HCC enters a direct cooperation agreement with a national authority or coordination body, aligning scheme criteria and audit expectations.
Certificate, issued & published
HCC certifies the manufacturer and publishes the certificate on the public registry — scope and status open for any partner or regulator to confirm.
Market, reached
Because the issuing body is recognized within that network, the certified product is accepted in the destination market it ships to.
The legitimacy question, answered plainly.
