Compliance & NPRA

What Malaysia requires from Indian exporters

Malaysia’s medicines are regulated by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) and the Drug Control Authority (DCA) under the Ministry of Health. Every product must be registered (receiving an MAL registration number) and imported through a licensed importer. WHO-GMP is expected from the foreign manufacturer; halal requirements may apply to certain products, which IGM can coordinate with manufacturing partners.

Requirement / DocumentPurpose
NPRA product registrationRequired before a medicine can be marketed in Malaysia.
Importer licence & import permitHeld by the Malaysia partner to legally import and distribute.
Certificate of Analysis (COA)Confirms quality and composition of each batch.
Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CPP)Confirms the product’s regulatory status in India (WHO format).
GMP CertificateConfirms the site meets Good Manufacturing Practice standards.
Certificate of Origin & commercial invoiceRequired for customs clearance.

In practice, the Malaysia importer or distributor — not the Indian exporter — holds the NPRA licence and manages registration. IGM works closely with licensed local partners and provides all supplier-side documentation.
