Some Important Learning Outcomes:
During the session and during the Breaks HFC Shariah Committee Chairman Zeeshan Ali got a chance to have some discussions with Mufti Muaz, Mufti Qasim and Mufti Suhaib, and got some very important issues as following.
1.In few months Pakistan government is going to seal its borders and no import will be allowed until it follows PS3733-2016 standard. So for Chinese companies want to export Pakistan we may follow PS.
2.Just like product Audit its packaging audit is also very important.
3.For eggs we must also check that candling eggs are not used. Which contains blood.
As Pakistan is going to seal its border for all the international exporters until they got certified as per PS3733, HFC is considering to offer certification as per PS3733 standards, as we have Shariah experts from Pakistan who are well aware of these standards, so our clients can get maximum benefit from CPEC (China–Pakistan Economic Corridor) trade, and Pakistan will also become the new potential international halal marketing for China exportation suppliers.
