When you need a legalised COPP in Myanmar
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 Myanmar, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration of Myanmar. 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 Embassy of Myanmar in New Delhi.

Share the COPP and the instructions you received from Myanmar. We check signatures, names and dates before you courier anything.
Indian Chamber of Commerce
An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the COPP.

The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the COPP, which the Myanmar Embassy requires before it will legalise it.

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 Burmese translation, if the authority in Myanmar asks (we arrange it)
- Original COPP for each product (one original per country)
Avoid rejection
- Legalise COPPs well before expiry; regulators reject certificates close to their end date.
- Check that the company name is spelt the same way on every document; the Myanmar Embassy compares names across the set.
- 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.
COPP attestation for Myanmar: FAQs
Does Myanmar accept the apostille on an Indian COPP?
No. Myanmar is not an apostille country for Indian commercial documents, so the COPP needs MEA attestation and legalisation by the Myanmar Embassy in New Delhi.
Do I need a Burmese translation for Myanmar?
Many authorities in Myanmar expect documents in Burmese. We arrange certified translation and can legalise it together with the English COPP.
Which papers should accompany the COPP for Myanmar?
Usually: Original COPP for each product (one original per country); Copy of the drug manufacturing licence and WHO-GMP certificate; Free sale certificate and product list, if the regulator asks for the full dossier.
Is a separate COPP needed for each country?
Usually yes. A COPP is normally issued for a named importing country, and that country's embassy or regulator expects to see its own name on the certificate.
