Certificate of Free Sale

A Certificate of Free Sale certifies that goods are legally sold in the country of export. It is often required for regulatory approval in the importing country.

This document is essential for products like pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and food items. It ensures compliance with local laws and standards.

Authorities issuing Certificates of Free Sale include the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in Europe, and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in Japan.

Importing countries like China, India, and Brazil often demand this certificate for market entry.
