When you need a legalised COPP in Liberia
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.
Companies dealing with Liberia are most often asked for a legalised COPP during new product registration with the drug regulator, as well as for 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. Liberia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

- Copy of the drug manufacturing licence and WHO-GMP certificate

Avoid rejection
- Legalise COPPs well before expiry; regulators reject certificates close to their end date.
- Check that the importing country printed on the COPP matches the country you are legalising for.
