<![CDATA[Halal certification standardization is a crucial aspect of an increasingly competitive and integrated global trading system, as Muslim consumers' awareness of the importance of halal products grows. The global halal industry market is estimated to reach US$1.3 trillion by 2025, demonstrating significant economic potential for Muslim-majority countries. However, regulations, interpretations of Islamic law, and oversight mechanisms across countries pose serious challenges to harmonizing internationally recognized halal standards. Differences in sharia interpretations, complex bureaucracies, and political-economic interests are key obstacles to this process. International institutions such as the OIC-SMIIC and the Halal Accreditation Forum (HAF) play a crucial role in developing global standards, while countries like Indonesia, through the Halal Product Certification Agency (BPJPH), are striving to strengthen credible and efficient national certification systems. This study uses a qualitative approach with a desk review to analyze the dynamics and challenges of global halal certification. In conclusion, the harmonization of global halal standards should focus on a trust-based mutual recognition system that respects diverse sharia interpretations, as well as strengthening international collaboration and digitizing the certification process to support the growth of an inclusive, sustainable, and highly competitive halal industry]]>
