Free Sale Certificate Apostille in India – Hassle-Free Export Legalization
A Free Sale Certificate (FSC) is an official document issued by Indian authorities confirming that a product (pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, or medical device) is freely sold in India and meets all regulatory requirements. When exporting these products abroad, the FSC must be apostilled by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India to be legally recognized in foreign markets.
At TT Attestation, we provide fast, professional, and reliable Free Sale Certificate apostille services with end-to-end support for exporters and manufacturers across India.
