Query: I've been reading your posts all the while and have been real thankful for great insights. We are in the process of launching an Ayurvedic brand in India which will be sold online through our own platform initially and then going forwards offline as well. Could you please help in answering following questions - We are getting products from a third Party manufacturer. Is there any other license which we need for selling the product online? Our company is registered and has a GST Number. Please let know if there if any license or documentation required to retail/sell ayurvedic products in India only? Answer: No Sir, You won't require any other drug related license... Your Third Party manufacturer only need to have approval of that product and a valid ayurvedic manufacturing license Check in detail: How we can ayurvedic products online in India?
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 for Export? would that be an expensive affair too?
Response:

Ayurvedic medicines have almost same regulatory guidelines as of allopathic medicines like COPP, Free Sales certificate, Stability data of ayurvedic medicines is required.

- Ayurvedic Manufacturing License if you are manufacturer along with GST number. If you are trader or marketer then Ayurvedic manufacturing license number of contract manufacturer or third party manufacturer

5) Should we hire an agent for all code requirements for Export? Would that be an expensive affair too?
If you don’t have knowledge and experience about exporting process and requirements then hiring a agent will be better. It would be expensive affair but if can’t fulfil requirement by yourself then it would be better to hire an agent.
