Notice By DCGI Regarding Documents Required For The Import Of Drugs In India.
by Dolly K. Digital Marketing ExecutiveIn a recent notice, DCGI has asked all importers to submit an
undertaking on product quality to make sure the products are cleared fast from
the port offices. To clear the import consignments at the port faster, the DCGI
has taken this step recently. Along with that, an importer needs to submit a
bill of entering, which conveys that the consignment packing is not destroyed,
and all the contents of the concerned drug are not destroyed or damaged.
This initiative by DCGI is an effort to ease the business. It
aims to make sure that all importers are strictly in compliance with all of the
conditions of the import license and regulated drug integrity. Hence following
all the norms of the import
of drugs in India.
According to the notice given by DCGI, making business
reliable and using a fast track system of the risk management system, along
with incorporation with ICEGATE that makes online clearance of all drugs and
cosmetics that are imported, has declared a proposal.
As per the proposal, by planning some methods, the human
interface should be decreased while ensuring the reliability of
drugs/cosmetics. All packages with seals remain intact before they are released
and are out of charge. Thus, it is the sole duty of the importer to make sure
all these things are carried out and provide an undertaking with every unified
declaration or the bill of entry that the drug packaging is not
damaged/destroyed/broken and all contents of the drug are not damaged in a
prescribed format.
Besides submitting the undertaking discussed above during
import, every importer needs to furnish a label of particular consignment,
import license/permission, bill of entry, and a certificate of analysis of the release
of batch and other such documents. Every importer should comply with all import
license conditions, or the no-objection certificate is issued as per D&C
act.
Sahil Munjal, who is the vice chairman of Pharmexil, said
that It is one of the government's best steps with a declaration by the
importer that the seal of every package is intact and the package is not at all
damaged or broken. This helps import consignments being released from either
ports or airports without making any delay. It is one of the best welcoming
steps to ensure that importers comply with all provisions of the D&C act.
But an insider from the industry has stated that some corrupt
importers are still managing to import and facilitate the selling of some of
the unregistered or the prohibited pharma products in the country through
mislabeling and misfiling an entry with the customs. Through strong support
from the customs officials, they get their imported consignments easily
released from the ports and airports without obtaining NOC from a drug
controller. This indeed is a risk to our public health.
DCGI should look into this issue and integrate with the
customs authority to check the unfil of any unregistered drugs in the country.
