When you need a legalised COPP in North Macedonia
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.
European regulators and importers may ask for apostilled regulatory documents when an Indian manufacturer supplies medicines, APIs or devices.
Authorities, banks and business partners in North Macedonia usually ask for a legalised COPP for new product registration with the drug regulator, renewal or variation of an existing registration or 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. North Macedonia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
