A Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CPP) proves the regulatory status of a drug in the United States and is used by foreign drug regulatory authorities when determining whether a product can be licensed for sale. When exporting medication overseas, the importing country may require your CPP to be apostilled to confirm that it is authentic and issued by the proper authority.
Why You Need a CPP Apostille
A CPP is issued according to the World Health Organization (WHO) format and confirms:
- The product is authorized for sale in the U.S., or
- The product is manufactured in the U.S. and licensed for export.
However, when presenting this document in another country, the foreign regulatory agency must be able to confirm its legitimacy. An apostille verifies the authenticity of the CPP in any country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
If the destination country is not a Hague member, the CPP must undergo embassy or consular legalization — which Travel Visa Pro also handles.
