Along with the application, it will be necessary to submit a copy of the files of the importer. Along with the application, it is necessary to provide data on the imported medicines on a CD.

Although the list of documents for submission is short (the application, the files of the importer and a description of the documents) for the preparation of the first two, you will have to provide a significant amount of documents / data, namely:

  1. Extract from EDRPOU;
  2. Contact details;

Each of the above items may have its own subpoints, and additional documents / information will be required in that case.

The cost of drug license obtainment

It depends on:
  • Whether our company takes up full support of obtaining a license or represents interests in the licensing authority;
  • Whether the Client needs other licenses.

A one-time fee in the amount of one living wage for able-bodied persons is charged for the issuance of a license. The amount of this payment changes several times a year. You need to pay exactly the amount that was established on the day the license was issued. You can not worry about this, we will provide you with the payment details and indicate the current amount.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Is an on-site inspection called for to obtain a license to bring (import) medicines into Ukraine?

Yes, it is. First, the applicant provides data on paper and electronic media, and then the reliability of the data is verified by employees of the State Service Of Ukraine On Medicines And Drugs Control with a visit to the place of economic activity.

Does the license to import drugs give the right to carry out their further sale?

No, it does not. An import license gives the right only to import drugs into the territory of Ukraine to importers, who must already have a license for a pharmacy warehouse, which essentially allows wholesale trading.

Additional information on drug importer license

Importation of medicines must be accompanied by existing certificates on the quality of a medicine (series) issued by the manufacturer.

The shelf life of the medicines imported into Ukraine must be:
  • at least half of the period that was indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging as the expiration date, if the period is less than 1 year;
