Compliance & FDD

What Laos requires from Indian exporters

Medicines in Laos are regulated by the Food and Drug Department (FDD) under the Ministry of Health. Imported medicines must be registered with the FDD and imported through a licensed local company. As a landlocked, largely import-dependent market, Laos relies on quality foreign suppliers, and India’s WHO-GMP generics are a cost-effective option.

Requirement / DocumentPurpose
FDD product registrationRequired before a medicine can be marketed in Laos.
Importer licence & import permitHeld by the Laos 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 Laos importer or distributor — not the Indian exporter — holds the FDD licence and manages registration. IGM works closely with licensed local partners and provides all supplier-side documentation.
