Applus+ was honored to participate in the Business Matching Mission organized by the Philippine Embassy in Qatar. This multi-agency initiative, attended by representatives from the Ministry of Public Health and the Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry, brought together business leaders from the Philippines and Qatar to strengthen economic ties and explore new opportunities.
During the event, Applus+ introduced its Verification of Conformity (VOC) Service for Imported Food Products in Qatar. This service plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth entry of food imports into the Qatari market by helping exporters navigate regulatory requirements.
Understanding Applus+ VOC Service
As a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification, Applus+ provides VOC services to ensure compliance with Qatar’s stringent import regulations. For food products, this service ensures that goods meet health, safety, and quality standards prior to shipment. The VOC process includes pre-shipment inspections mandated by the Qatari government, covering hygiene, labeling, and packaging requirements.
By offering this service, Applus+ helps exporters avoid delays, rejections, and penalties at customs. Its experts guide businesses through every step of the compliance process, ensuring that all necessary documentation and certifications are in place for a seamless import experience.
Enhancing Bilateral Trade Through Compliance
Applus+ emphasized the critical role of VOC services in facilitating successful trade between exporting countries and Qatar. With Qatar’s growing food import sector, ensuring regulatory compliance is crucial for maintaining market integrity and safeguarding consumer interests.
For exporters, VOC certification provides a competitive edge by assuring that their products meet Qatar’s standards, thereby strengthening trust with local businesses and consumers. Compliance not only mitigates risks but also enhances brand reputation, fostering long-term success in the Qatari market.
As trade relations between the Philippines and Qatar continue to expand, Applus+ remains committed to supporting businesses with its expertise and services, ensuring that imported food products meet the highest standards of safety and quality.
