The Gulf’s governments,read at source.
Bilby شريك قرارك في الخليج.
Bilby holds each GCC state’s rules on what it lets in, tracks its ministries against its national vision, and reads what its government publishes every day. Ask in Arabic or English and see the source behind every answer.
One halal certificate, six answers
Food certified halal by JAKIM, Malaysia
An example. In Bilby, every answer names the rule and its source.
Know what each Gulf state lets in.
Islamic law shapes what can be sold in the Gulf, and each state applies it its own way: which halal certificates it accepts, which goods it bans or restricts, and what else a product needs to get in. Bilby holds the rules of all six states. Ask whether a product can go to a given state and what it needs, and see the rule behind the answer.
Ask about a productEvery ministry, against the national vision.
Each Gulf state runs a national vision with targets for its ministries. Bilby reads what each ministry publishes and checks it against the vision’s programmes and targets, so a delivery office sees what moved, what stalled and who is behind. It runs in your own country when your rules require it.
