CDSCO Import Framework

Medical Device Regulatory Solutions for Importers in India

Foreign medical device manufacturers seeking market authorization in India require an independent Authorized Indian Representative (AIR), meticulous Device Master File compilation, and online SUGAM submission to obtain CDSCO Form MD-15 import licenses.

Process Roadmap

5-Stage Medical Device Import Authorization Process

01

Device Classification & Predicate Review

Identify whether your device falls into Class A, B, C, or D under MDR 2017 and establish substantial equivalence with CDSCO notified predicate devices.

02

Appointment of Authorized Indian Representative (AIR)

Execute Power of Attorney (PoA) and Form 9 appointing NKB Regovanta as your in-country legal representative holding valid wholesale Form 20B/21B licenses.

03

Dossier Compilation (Plant Master File & Device Master File)

Compile ISO 13485 QMS certificates, Free Sale Certificates (FSC) from reference countries, clinical evaluation reports, risk management files, and bilingual labeling.

04

SUGAM Portal Submission & MD-14 Filing

Digital submission through CDSCO's SUGAM portal, statutory treasury challan fee remittance, and active liaison during technical scrutiny.

05

Grant of Import License (Form MD-15)

CDSCO Central Licensing Authority grants the perpetual import license, enabling seamless customs clearance and nationwide distribution.

Independent AIR Model

Retain full ownership of your Indian regulatory licenses without giving commercial distribution exclusivity to single local distributors.
