COPP for Mozambique: 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.
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 Mozambique, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by the national medicines regulator. 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 attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the High Commission of Mozambique in New Delhi.

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 Mozambique High Commission requires before it will legalise it.
Mozambique High Commission legalisation
The High Commission of Mozambique in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. This is the final stamp needed in India.
