WHO-GMP sourcedOverview
Exporting pharmaceuticals from India to MENA
RND Industries supplies finished pharmaceutical formulations and surgical disposables from WHO-GMP certified Indian manufacturing sites to importers, distributors and tender agents across the Gulf, the Levant and North Africa. MENA filings turn on two things beyond the dossier itself: Arabic artwork and a clean legalisation chain on the export documents. Both are the importer’s to file, and we do not act as your regulatory agent. On the commercial side we arrange Chamber of Commerce attestation and consular legalisation of the shipping documents where the destination requires it, and ask our manufacturing partner for anything further your submission needs.

What your registration involves
- MENA authorities register on the ICH CTD format, filed by you as the importer.
- A Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CPP) in WHO format is commonly requested as part of that file.
- The GCC operates a centralised submission route for filings across several Gulf states.
- Commercial documents typically need Chamber of Commerce attestation and consular legalisation.
- Arabic pack artwork and inserts are expected by most authorities in the region.

Answers
MENA export — frequently asked questions
How do I import pharmaceuticals from India to the UAE or Saudi Arabia?
Send your product list, quantities and destination market. RND Industries quotes within 24 hours from WHO-GMP certified sources, and arranges Chamber of Commerce attestation and consular legalisation of the shipping documents where the destination requires it. The import licence and the MOHAP or SFDA registration are yours to obtain — we do not file on your behalf. Anything further your submission needs, we request from the manufacturing partner and confirm on the quotation.
Do you handle Arabic labelling and artwork?
Yes. Arabic pack artwork, cartons and patient inserts are coordinated with the manufacturing site as part of the order, so the consignment arrives in the format the destination authority expects.
Which MENA ports do you ship pharmaceutical consignments to?
We quote FOB from Mundra and Hazira (Surat), with Kandla and Nhava Sheva on request, to Jebel Ali, Dammam, Jeddah, Sohar, Salalah, Hamad, Umm Qasr, Aden, Hodeidah, Aqaba, Alexandria, Sokhna and Casablanca.
