Free sale certificate for Ecuador: what and why
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.
Regulators in Latin America register Indian medicines and commonly ask for apostilled regulatory documents with a Spanish or Portuguese translation.
Companies dealing with Ecuador are most often asked for a legalised free sale certificate during product registration, as well as for 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. Ecuador accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

The Ecuador process for an Indian free sale certificate
Confirm the requirement
Share the free sale certificate and the instructions you received from Ecuador. We check signatures, names and dates before you courier anything.
Notarisation
A notary in India verifies the signature on the free sale certificate or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.
Indian Chamber of Commerce
An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the free sale certificate.
MEA apostille
The MEA adds its apostille, which is the final step for a Hague Convention country.
Tracked return
We courier the legalised document back by Blue Dart or another tracked courier, or you collect it from our Delhi office.
What to send us
- Certified Spanish translation, if the authority in Ecuador asks (we arrange it)
- Request letter on company letterhead
- Manufacturing licence copy
- Original free sale certificate
- Product list annexed to the FSC
Avoid rejection
- Do not get the document stamped by an embassy; an apostille country only needs the MEA apostille.
- Get the FSC from the authority your importing regulator recognises.
- Product names must match your registration dossier exactly.
- Some regulators want an FSC issued within the last six to twelve months.
