- 2 Indian Chamber of Commerce
- 3 MEA apostille
Why Indonesia 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.
Drug regulators across South-East and South Asia register many Indian medicines and typically ask for the regulatory certificates in a legalised form.
In Indonesia, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by BPOM. Legalised documents from India are typically part of the file for new product registration with the drug regulator, renewal or variation of an existing registration and tender submissions by the local distributor.
The COPP issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Indonesia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Avoid rejection
- Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
- Check that the importing country printed on the COPP matches the country you are legalising for.

- Keep product name, strength and pack size identical across the COPP, GMP certificate and free sale certificate.
