In order to legally register, import and market, sell your regulated products in India you need to be compliant to Indian regulations and legislation.

This Authorized Representative will also be held responsible for pre-certification and post-market surveillance inquiries.

Many product distributors are happy to take on the role of an official Indian Authorized Representative. This relationship would curtail the manufacturer’s ability to work with multiple distributors in India or change distributor/s due to performance challenges.
Product registration licenses and Marketing Authorisations of the manufacturer areissued in the name of the appointed India Representative as identified by the manufacturer. If a distributor is appointed as the authorized representative, this relationship cannot be changed at least till the duration of the licenses or authorisations. Also, this can become a commercial challenge if there were to be an opportunity or a requirement to switch distributor/s.If there were a requirement to switch distributors, the registration process has to be initiated all over again.
