Query: We've been following your youtube videos since a long time and I must say they're really helpful in creating awareness about the pharma industry. We have been manufacturing/selling products since 1999 on third party manufacturing basis. We wish to enter the export sector targeting countries with good scope for our select Ayurvedic & Neutraceutical products. It would be great if you could guide me over these few questions: 1) Does Ayurvedic export follow the same guidelines as allopathic drugs? 2) What Licenses are required for exporting ayurvedic products to other countries? 3) Does USFDA has any prohibition for import of ayurvedic drugs? 4) Finding business through alibaba/Indiamart would be beneficial or should we keep direct approach and find probable buyers. Buying gold membership on alibaba is an expensive affair so what could be a proper way to start off (sharing marketing brochures, samples etc) 5) Should we hire an agent for all code requirements
