Why Spain 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.
In Spain, a legalised free sale certificate is typically requested for product registration; it is also used for 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. Spain accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Spain accepts the MEA apostille. Authorities there may ask for a sworn Spanish translation made in Spain; where a certified translation from India is accepted, we can arrange it.
