A license for import necessary for the import of any bulk API or finished dose Since January 2003, manufacturing sites of foreign manufacturers and individual imported APIs have to be registered with Drug Controller General of India
Valid for 3 years API in transit does not need to be registered
All the paperwork needs to be submitted by a single Indian agent
Exclusive representation for the duration of the certificate Registration done in English
Bureaucratic system
Amount of time required to get a product registered varies Paperwork can be held up on minor technicalities Open for potential abuse

India
Not self-sufficient in all products
Need good representation on the ground
API for export dose
China
New and better products
Must have relationships, marketing message, long-term strategy
Russia
Products not manufactured in India and China Products used only in Russia
Brazil
Products not manufactured in India and China Regulatory environment getting tougher
Each Market Comes With Its Unique Challenges
India
Competition from manufacturers that enjoy cost advantage
China
Capacity to manufacture most products locally Dose export into regulated markets just starting
Russia
Focus on price Complex and changing regulations
Brazil
Focus on price Rules and interpretation constantly changing
Assessing Your Opportunities
Take a close look at your portfolio
Do you have a superior product? Is it cost-competitive? What are your strengths? Do you have unusual capabilities? What additional products could you make using these capabilities?
Take a close look at your capabilities
Analyze the market: Is there need for these products in individual BRIC countries?
Has the finished dose been launched? Can this be used in novel formulations? Is the API manufactured locally? If not, what are the barriers to manufacturing it locally? Are others from regulated market already selling this product into BRIC countries? Are you ready to commit for long term?
Choose partners carefully!
Opportunities exist, but there are no low hanging fruits
