Quick answer

Can Indian companies export medicines to Zimbabwe?

In short

Yes — Indian companies can export medicines to Zimbabwe once the product is registered with the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) and imported through a licensed local importer. Products should be WHO-GMP made, with a CPP, COA, GMP certificate and Certificate of Origin. Zimbabwe is landlocked, so shipments usually route through Durban or Beira with onward road transport, or by air to Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport (Harare).
