Frequently asked questions
Which cities in Ontario buy generic drug formulations from India?
Toronto (pharma/generics); Mississauga (pharma/generics importers).
Which port serves Ontario for shipments from India?
Montreal, about 26-34 via Suez; 34-42 via Cape days at sea from Jawaharlal Nehru Port (Nhava Sheva) (estimate). Inland delivery to other cities in the state is by road on DAP terms.
Can you deliver to more than one city in Ontario?
Yes. Split deliveries from one container are possible on DAP terms through partner forwarders, priced per drop.
Who registers the medicine in my country?
The marketing-authorisation holder or the importing buyer. We can source the dossier (CTD/ACTD), CoPP, GMP certificates and samples from the manufacturer to support it, but registration in the destination is not our responsibility.
What is a CoPP?
A Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product in the WHO format, issued by the Indian regulator, confirming the product's licence status and the site's GMP compliance. Many regulators ask for it with a registration file.
