When you need a legalised free sale certificate in Oman
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.
In Oman, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by the Ministry of Health. 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. Oman accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Oman accepts the MEA apostille, so commercial documents no longer need Oman Embassy legalisation.

Notary in India
The signatory's signature or the certified copy is notarised in India, as the chamber and MEA require for this document.
