COPP for Cuba: what and why
A Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (COPP) confirms that a medicine is licensed in India, made in a GMP-compliant plant and sold by a named licence holder. It follows the WHO format, so drug regulators abroad can rely on it when they register an Indian product. The COPP is issued by CDSCO jointly with the State Licensing Authority, under the WHO Certification Scheme.
Regulators in Latin America register Indian medicines and commonly ask for apostilled regulatory documents with a Spanish or Portuguese translation.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Cuba usually ask for a legalised COPP for new product registration with the drug regulator, renewal or variation of an existing registration or tender submissions by the local distributor.
The COPP issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Cuba in New Delhi.

How to get a COPP attested for Cuba
Send us a scan first
WhatsApp a scan of the COPP and tell us who in Cuba will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.
Indian Chamber of Commerce
An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the COPP.
Ministry of External Affairs
The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the COPP, which the Cuba Embassy requires before it will legalise it.
Cuba Embassy legalisation
The Embassy of Cuba in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.
Back to you
The finished COPP is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Cuba.
What to send us
- Certified Spanish translation, if the authority in Cuba asks (we arrange it)
- Request letter on company letterhead (we share the format)
- Copy of the drug manufacturing licence and WHO-GMP certificate
- Original COPP for each product (one original per country)
- Free sale certificate and product list, if the regulator asks for the full dossier
Avoid rejection
- Check that the importing country printed on the COPP matches the country you are legalising for.
- Check that the company name is spelt the same way on every document; the Cuba Embassy compares names across the set.
- Keep product name, strength and pack size identical across the COPP, GMP certificate and free sale certificate.
- Legalise COPPs well before expiry; regulators reject certificates close to their end date.

Many authorities in Cuba expect documents in Spanish. We arrange certified translation and can legalise it together with the English COPP.
