In today’s global marketplace, compliance with international regulations is essential for businesses exporting pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cosmetics, and other FDA-regulated products. Among the critical documents required to facilitate international trade is the Certificate of Exportability. To ensure that this certificate is accepted abroad, it must be properly authenticated and, in many cases, apostilled. CFG Apostille specializes in providing professional support for obtaining and authenticating Certificates of Exportability, helping businesses expand globally with confidence.

What is a Certificate of Exportability?

A Certificate of Exportability is an official document issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This certificate authorizes the export of FDA-regulated products that may not have approval for domestic distribution within the United States but meet the standards of the importing country.

The document verifies that:

• The product is manufactured in an FDA-registered facility.
• The product complies with the safety and quality standards required by the importing country.
• The product is legally eligible for export under U.S. regulations.

The Certificate of Exportability is essential for businesses that manufacture products intended solely for foreign markets. It reassures foreign regulators, importers, and distributors that the product meets necessary standards despite its restricted status in the United States.

Apostille and Legalization of a Certificate of Exportability

While the FDA issues the Certificate of Exportability, many foreign authorities require additional validation before accepting it. For countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is required to authenticate the certificate. For non-member countries, embassy or consular legalization may be necessary.

This step confirms the authenticity of the FDA’s signature and seal on the document, ensuring that it will be legally recognized abroad. Without this validation, businesses risk costly delays or outright rejection of their export certificates.
