Why Greece asks for a legalised free sale certificate
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.
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 Greece usually ask for a legalised free sale certificate for product registration, import permits or distributor appointments.
A free sale certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Greece accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

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.
