In today’s competitive agri-food industry, quality assurance and certification compliance are the foundation of successful international trade. For Iranian sesame seeds, which are exported to diverse markets such as the EU, Middle East, Africa, and Asia, obtaining the right certifications is not just a requirement, it’s a guarantee of credibility, food safety, and market access.

At Tamila Agrifood Company, every shipment of Iranian sesame seeds undergoes strict quality control and certification to meet global import standards and buyer expectations.

 

1. ISO Certification: International Quality Management

The ISO 22000 and ISO 9001 certifications are key quality management systems recognized worldwide.

They ensure that Iranian sesame seeds are produced, processed, and packed according to strict international hygiene and safety protocols.

ISO-certified sesame exporters demonstrate:

•    Consistent product quality

•    Full traceability from farm to export

•    Compliance with international food safety laws

Tamila Agrifood’s sesame seeds are sourced from verified farms and processed under ISO-certified facilities to maintain top-tier quality for global buyers.

 

2. HACCP Certification: Food Safety Assurance

The HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) certification is essential for any sesame seed exporter entering regulated markets like the European Union or the UK.

This certification confirms that each stage of sesame processing, from cleaning, sorting, roasting, to packaging, is controlled to eliminate potential biological or chemical hazards.

For importers, HACCP certification builds confidence that:

•    The sesame seeds are safe for direct food use

•    Contamination risks are minimized

•    Production facilities follow preventive safety protocols

Tamila Agrifood implements full HACCP compliance across its production chain to guarantee safe, export-ready sesame seeds.

 

3. Organic Certification: Chemical-Free, Sustainable Farming

Demand for Organic sesame seeds is rising sharply across Europe, North America, and Japan.

To be labeled as organic, sesame farms must comply with strict agricultural practices that exclude synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or GMOs.

Certified organic sesame seeds carry additional market value and attract health-conscious and eco-aware consumers.

Tamila Agrifood cooperates with certified Iranian farmers who follow sustainable, environmentally friendly cultivation methods, ensuring every shipment can meet EU Organic or USDA Organic import standards upon request.

 

4. Halal Certification: Compliance for Muslim Markets

For export to Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, and African countries, Halal certification is mandatory.

It confirms that sesame seed production, cleaning, and packaging processes are free from prohibited substances and follow Islamic dietary regulations.

At Tamila Agrifood, our Halal-certified sesame seeds are trusted by distributors across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Malaysia, offering both authenticity and reliability for Muslim consumers worldwide.

 

5. Additional Certificates & Quality Documentation

In addition to ISO, HACCP, Organic, and Halal, major importers often request:

•    Phytosanitary Certificates issued by Iran’s Ministry of Agriculture

•    Certificate of Origin from the Iranian Chamber of Commerce

•    SGS or Bureau Veritas inspection reports for shipment verification

•    Moisture and purity analysis reports from accredited labs

These documents streamline customs clearance and ensure a smooth import process in any destination country.

 

Why Certification Matters in Sesame Trade?

Certifications do more than open doors to regulated markets, they also build trust, reduce disputes, and enhance brand reputation.

For international buyers, working with a certified Iranian sesame supplier like Tamila Agrifood Company means peace of mind and long-term reliability.
