Free sale certificate for Libya: 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.
Health ministries in the Middle East register a large number of Indian generic medicines each year, and their registration files almost always include legalised regulatory certificates from India.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Libya usually ask for a legalised free sale certificate for product registration, import permits or distributor appointments.
A free sale certificate issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Libya in New Delhi.
Libyan buyers and authorities regularly ask for legalised certificates of origin, invoices and health certificates with each consignment.
