How to Import Brazilian Chicken Paws into Malaysia

Malaysia requires JAKIM-recognized halal certification for imported chicken paws, with Port Klang serving as the main entry point and regional re-export hub.

JAKIM halal recognition is non-negotiable

Frozen chicken paws entering Malaysia must come from a plant that is halal-approved under a scheme recognized by JAKIM. Without valid, JAKIM-recognized halal certification tied to the specific Brazilian SIF plant, a shipment cannot clear as halal product in the Malaysian market — see our SIF, GACC & halal guide for how halal certification is issued and audited.

Import permits and health certification

Alongside halal certification, importers need the relevant import permit and a veterinary health certificate confirming the plant of origin, product description and condition of the cargo. These documents are presented together with the certificate of origin and packing list at clearance.

Port Klang and onward re-export

Port Klang is the principal gateway for reefer containers of Brazilian chicken paws arriving under CIF terms, and it also functions as a regional re-export hub for buyers distributing product further into Southeast Asia. See for importers and distributors for how Duna structures supply for re-export programs.
