When you need a legalised free sale certificate in Thailand
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.
Drug regulators across South-East and South Asia register many Indian medicines and typically ask for the regulatory certificates in a legalised form.
In Thailand, pharmaceutical dossiers are reviewed by the Thai Food and Drug Administration. 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 attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Thailand in New Delhi.
In our processing experience, Indian documents for Thailand are legalised through the Royal Thai Embassy rather than by apostille.
