Free sale certificate for Rwanda: 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.
Africa is one of the largest markets for Indian generic medicines, and national regulators generally require legalised COPPs, GMP and free sale certificates for product registration.
In Rwanda, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by the Rwanda FDA. 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. Rwanda accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

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.
