Fees · MPPHM 2020, Part III

JAKIM halal certification fees, by who pays.

JAKIM halal certification costs, under the 2020 manual: a processing fee per application (RM20 for a company registered in Malaysia, RM200 for one registered overseas that manufactures in Malaysia) and a certification fee. Malaysian-registered product makers pay RM100, RM400, RM700 or RM1,000 a year by turnover; restaurants, cafés and similar outlets RM100 per premises a year; overseas-registered manufacturers RM2,500 (ASEAN) or RM10,000 (other countries) per application. Confirm current amounts with JAKIM.

Illustration: one coin for every RM100 of the yearly fee, so the four stacks are to scale (Jadual 1). The two plates set apart are the per-application fees of a company registered overseas that manufactures in Malaysia (Jadual 2): a different unit, not drawn to the coin scale.

Procedure 7 · every application

What does every application pay? A processing fee.

JAKIM's fees come in three parts: a processing fee on every application, a certification fee set by who you are, and a few charges after the certificate. All amounts are in Malaysian ringgit (RM), as printed in Part III of the Manual Prosedur Pensijilan Halal Malaysia (Domestik) 2020, MPPHM 2020. Every fee goes to the competent authority handling the application: JAKIM (Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia), or the State Islamic Religious Council or Department (MAIN/JAIN).

What do product and service companies pay? A yearly fee by turnover.

Jadual 1 applies to every new and renewal application in eight categories: food and drink, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, logistics, contract manufacturing (OEM), medical devices and central kitchens. The fee is charged a year and set by the company's annual turnover. The same four size names, Industri Mikro, Kecil, Sederhana and Besar, also set the staffing rules of procedure 18: JAKIM's rules by company size.

Company size	Annual turnover	Fee a year
Micro Industri Mikro	Under RM300,000	RM100
Small Industri Kecil	RM300,000 to RM14,999,999.99	RM400
Medium Industri Sederhana	RM15 million to RM50 million	RM700
Large Industri Besar	Over RM50 million	RM1,000

Notwithstanding procedure 8(1), every application from a company registered outside Malaysia that manufactures here is charged under Jadual 2 instead of Jadual 1, with the RM200 processing fee instead of RM20. Jadual 2 is headed "contract manufacturing of products (overseas company)" and covers food and drink, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods and medical devices. ASEAN, as the manual defines it, is ten countries, Malaysia itself among them: Malaysia, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

A factory outside Malaysia

Made outside Malaysia? Two programmes, their own fees.

The fees on this page are the domestic manual's, for business or production in Malaysia. A product made outside Malaysia has two programmes, and neither is priced in the manual. Under the first, a Foreign Halal Certification Body (FHCB) on JAKIM's recognised list certifies the factory on that body's own terms and fees. Under the second, the Halal International Program, a company registered in Malaysia applies under JAKIM's procedure for international manufacturing, and JAKIM audits the plant for at least four days, two of auditing and two of travel. Its fees are below.

Jadual 1–6 · procedure 35(2)

What does a certificate cost over its life? A yearly fee, over one to three years.

Jadual 1 and Jadual 3 to 6 price the certificate per year; Jadual 2 prices each application. The certificate's term depends on the scheme. The manual does not set out how the fee letter adds up the years of a term: the fee letter shows the amount to pay. A renewal pays again, because Jadual 1 applies to every new and renewal application, and JAKIM may set a five-year term for a long-standing holder (35(3)–(4)). Terms and fees as set in the manual: confirm with JAKIM.
