Hii Narender.
Try talking to this guy said below ...
Such a certificate process needs no consultants and is mostly a two day process.

Certificate of Free Sale
A certificate, required by some countries as evidence that the goods are normally sold on the open market and approved by the regulatory authorities in the country of origin.

Which country needs it ?
What products you make ?
Are you within the legal framework to make and market ?
The answers for the above is provided by a certificate of free sale against your application by a recognized body of industries and commerce., which is recognized by the ministry. Here the industry registers and becomes member. Its fairly simple here in karnataka state if we are a member in FKCCI (federation of karnataka chamber of commerce and industries)

Dear Mr. Somaskhekar,

Many thanks for suggesting this simple procedure. We will follow both the procedures as suggested by you and Mr. S. Subramaniam.

May I also request you to kindly give a reference of the industry who have obtained such certificate from FKCCI to submit as a reference to CII, Chandigarh. A scanned copy of the any such certificate issued by FKCCI will be highly appreciated.

Thanks for all your help and guidance.

Kind regards.

Narender

Is Free Trade Certificate like Certificate of Origin?
No.

A Free Trade Certificate, or in the US a Certificate to Foreign Governnment, indicates to the receiving country's medical device regulatory authority that the devices in question are legally marketable in their country of origin. If the receiving country regards the medical device regulatory requirements in the country of origin as sufficient to assure that the receiving country's requirements also are met, the Free Trade Certificate or CFG therefore establishes that the devices in question should be permitted to be imported.

A Certificate of Origin normally is a customs or commerce-regulation document, related to tariff applicability and in some countries import/export bans or preferences.

Just to add to the above, in the UK a Free Trade Certificate is obtained from the Department of Health, and a Certificate of Origin is obtained through your local Chamber of Commerce, at least that's how we do it!

Hello everyone,

I work for an IVD company and we manufacuture Class II devices. We have are in the process of getting our Korean Regitrsation done for both the cleared regagents and the non-cleared ones. We do have CE marking on the cleared and non-cleared regents and we supply the non-lceared ones to the highly complex labs under the CLIA regulation.

However, we came acorss a rather odd request from KFDA. They need a Certificate of Free Sale from countries that we export our non-cleared allergens to since we cannot obtain such a certificate from FDA for those products.

Can someone please tell me if they have any idea which contries provdie a CFS for products not manufactured in that country.

Thanks so much in advance for yiur help.

I think you mean a Free Sales Certificate (a.k.a. Certificate of Free Sales or Certificate to Foreign Government). This is a certificate from you local Ministry of Health basically stating that your device is registered with the authorities and that is can be freely sold in your country.
This serves as proof that the authorities know of you and your product and have accepted it for the local market.

Dear Silktie,

I completely agree with you but unfortunately the products for which the Certificate of Free Sale/Certificate to Foreign Government is being requested are not cleared by FDA ( since we are in US...we are regulated by US FDA) and so we are stuck with the option of getting this certificate from other countries to where we export.

Thanks so much for your help :)
