For businesses navigating international pharmaceutical trade, securing and properly authenticating a Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product is a critical step. CFG Apostille specializes in providing professional apostille and legalization services for CPPs, helping exporters meet foreign regulatory requirements with confidence and efficiency.
What is a Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CPP)?
A Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product is an official document that confirms a pharmaceutical product is authorized for sale in its country of origin and manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). The World Health Organization introduced the CPP as part of its certification scheme to facilitate international trade in pharmaceuticals and ensure transparency in regulatory controls.
The CPP typically includes:
- The product’s proprietary and generic names.
- Information about the dosage form, composition, and active ingredients.
- The name and address of the manufacturer.
- Verification that the product is authorized for sale in the country of export.
- Confirmation that the manufacturing site complies with GMP standards.
Importing countries rely on the CPP to assess whether a product meets the necessary quality, safety, and efficacy standards before granting marketing authorization.
Why is the Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product Important?
The Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product serves multiple critical purposes in the global pharmaceutical industry:
- Market Authorization Abroad: Many foreign regulatory authorities require a CPP before they approve the sale of a new medicine within their jurisdiction.
- Quality Assurance: It demonstrates that the product complies with internationally accepted GMP standards.
- Regulatory Transparency: By including detailed information about the manufacturer and authorization status, the CPP provides confidence in the legitimacy of the product.
- Customs Clearance: Proper documentation minimizes delays and ensures efficient importation processes.
Without a valid and authenticated CPP, pharmaceutical companies risk significant barriers to entering international markets.
Apostille and Legalization of a Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product
While the issuing authority provides the CPP, most countries require further validation through apostille or embassy legalization.
- Apostille Authentication: For countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, the apostille confirms the authenticity of the CPP, validating the signature and seal on the document.
- Embassy Legalization: For Non-Participating Hague Convention Countries, the CPP requires consular or embassy legalization.
This authentication process ensures the CPP is recognized by foreign regulatory authorities, enabling exporters to avoid costly delays and rejections.
