When you need a legalised free sale certificate in New Zealand
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 Oceania may ask for apostilled regulatory documents when registering products made in India.
Authorities, banks and business partners in New Zealand 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. New Zealand accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
