Do you need an apostille for a Certificate to Foreign Government (CFG) issued by the FDA?
The “Certificate to Foreign Government” is for the export of human drugs and biologic, animal drugs, and devices that can be legally marketed in the United States.
If you are planning to export products to another country, the government receiving the products will request a Certificate to Foreign Government which assures that the product are in compliance with U.S. laws or meets specific U.S. regulations. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the government agency which issues this type of certification.
In many cases, foreign governments are seeking official assurance that products exported to their countries can be marketed in the United States or meet specific U.S. regulations, for example current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations. Review of an FDA Export Certificate may be a required part of the process to register or import a product into another country.
