How can an overseas company register and distribute its products in Malaysia?
All pharmaceutical products must be registered with the Drug Control Authority before it can be marketed in Malaysia. A foreign company wishing to bring pharmaceutical products into Malaysia would first have to appoint a local agent to be the holder of the registration certificate. The appointed agent would then be responsible for all matters pertaining to the registration of the products. There are specific forms to complete during the process of registration and under the labeling requirements for products registered with the Drug Control Authority, the name and address of the actual manufacturer must be declared on the label.
