Exporting instant noodles into global markets like the EU, US, UAE, and Southeast Asia isn’t just about having great products — it’s about mastering export compliance and documentation.

At Kimdee, we not only manufacture OEM private label instant noodles, but we also help brands handle export paperwork — ensuring faster customs clearance and smoother market entry.

Here’s the complete checklist of documents you’ll need to successfully export instant noodles worldwide.

✅ 1. Certificate of Origin (CO)

• Issued by a Chamber of Commerce or an official body

• Verifies where the product was manufactured

• Required by most countries for tariff classification and duty assessment

📦 Kimdee assists clients in obtaining valid COs for seamless cross-border trade.

✅ 2. Halal and Organic Certifications (If Applicable)

• Required for markets like UAE, Malaysia (Halal) or EU, USA (Organic)

• Must come from recognized certification bodies

• Labels must match the certification

✅ 3. Health Certificate / Phytosanitary Certificate

• Confirms that food products meet health and safety standards

• Issued by government food authorities or accredited third parties

• Critical for fresh ingredients, processed foods, and ready-to-eat meals

Kimdee supports the preparation and coordination for obtaining health certificates based on destination market needs.

✅ 4. Commercial Invoice & Packing List

Both are essential for customs clearance, and must align with shipping terms (Incoterms® like FOB, CIF, DDP).

✅ 5. Bill of Lading (B/L) or Airway Bill (AWB)

• Issued by the shipping or logistics provider

• Acts as proof of shipment and title of goods

• Needed for cargo release at destination port

📦 At Kimdee, we coordinate logistics and ensure timely issuance of all transport documents.

✅ 6. Product Labeling and Regulatory Compliance Documents

Your product labels must:

• Follow destination country’s food labeling laws (nutrition, allergens, halal/organic claims)

• Be multilingual if required (e.g., Arabic + English for UAE)

• Carry the certifying body’s logos where applicable

We help design export-compliant labels at the OEM stage — reducing post-production rework.

✅ Bonus Tip: Country-Specific Additional Documents

Some countries may also request:

• Import permits

• Sanitary certificates

• Third-party lab test reports (especially for allergens or heavy metals)
