Why Mauritius 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 Mauritius, 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 notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Mauritius 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.
