Why Sweden 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.
European regulators and importers may ask for apostilled regulatory documents when an Indian manufacturer supplies medicines, APIs or devices.
In Sweden, 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. Sweden accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the COPP.

Avoid rejection
- 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.
- Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
- Legalise COPPs well before expiry; regulators reject certificates close to their end date.
