Overview

Why Gabon asks for a legalised COPP

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.

Africa is one of the largest markets for Indian generic medicines, and national regulators generally require legalised COPPs, GMP and free sale certificates for product registration.

In Gabon, a legalised COPP is typically requested for new product registration with the drug regulator; it is also used for renewal or variation of an existing registration and 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 Gabon in New Delhi.

Process

The Gabon process for an Indian COPP

  1. Confirm the requirement

    Share the COPP and the instructions you received from Gabon. We check signatures, names and dates before you courier anything.

  2. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the COPP.

  3. MEA attestation

    The Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi verifies the chamber's stamp and adds its attestation.

  4. Gabon Embassy legalisation

    The Embassy of Gabon in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.

  5. Tracked return

    We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.

What to send us

  • Free sale certificate and product list, if the regulator asks for the full dossier
  • Copy of the drug manufacturing licence and WHO-GMP certificate
  • Request letter on company letterhead (we share the format)
  • Certified French translation, if the authority in Gabon asks (we arrange it)
  • Original COPP for each product (one original per country)

Avoid rejection

  • Check that the company name is spelt the same way on every document; the Gabon Embassy compares names across the set.
  • Legalise COPPs well before expiry; regulators reject certificates close to their end date.
  • Keep product name, strength and pack size identical across the COPP, GMP certificate and free sale certificate.
  • Check that the importing country printed on the COPP matches the country you are legalising for.
