Embassy requirements and legalisation fees
        
All shipments to UAE must be covered by an Arab-Irish Certificate of Origin and, along with an Invoice, must be certified by the JA-ICC and then legalised by our Chamber at the UAE Embassy in London. Please note all shipments for UAE must be legalised.
As from the 1st of April 2005, if a replacement document is required, then the Embassy requires that photocopies of all the previous legalised documents be submitted as back-up. If the exporter does not have a photocopy of all the legalised documents, then a complete new set must be submitted - even though the exporter does not wish this.
Certificates which do not relate to a Certificate of Origin, these must be stamped by the Dept. of Foreign Affairs before we can process these. The Chamber can offer this service.
Agency Agreements and all Power of Attorney must be originally signed and require Notary Public and the Dept. of Foreign Affairs stamps before we can process these. Please ensure that the Dept. of Foreign Affairs certifies the Notary Public Seal only. All documents that do not relate to a shipment must be stamped by the Department of Foreign Affairs.
Health Certificates are required for food, meat and poultry consignments.
A Halal Certificate stating that slaughter was according to Muslim law must accompany fresh, frozen meat and poultry.
Radiation Certificates are often requested.
