When you need a legalised free sale certificate in Bangladesh
A free sale certificate (FSC), or certificate of free sale, states that a product is freely sold in India. Importing regulators use it to approve products without repeating every test. Depending on the product, the free sale certificate is issued by drug control authorities (medicines and cosmetics), the medical device regulator, food or export authorities, or the DGFT for many unregulated goods.
Drug regulators across South-East and South Asia register many Indian medicines and typically ask for the regulatory certificates in a legalised form.
In Bangladesh, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by the Directorate General of Drug Administration (DGDA). Legalised documents from India are typically part of the file for product registration, import permits and distributor appointments.
A free sale certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Bangladesh accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Bangladesh joined the Apostille Convention in March 2025; we confirm acceptance for your document case by case.
