Pharmaceutical Industry Expertise

Importing medicines means dealing with the MHRA, GDP rules and, for controlled drugs, the Home Office, as well as HMRC. We handle those requirements alongside the customs declaration.

Our job is to get your medicines, devices and healthcare products to you on time, at the right temperature and with the paperwork to show it. We also manage bilateral clinical supply lines between the UK and global pharmaceutical hubs, including CDSCO-compliant shipments when exporting from the UK to India.

Pharmaceutical Compliance & Regulations

The rules that apply to most pharmaceutical imports, and what we do about each one.

MHRA Import Licensing

We check that each import meets the MHRA Wholesale Dealer's Licence (WDA) requirements, with the documents and authorisation for the medicinal products in place before they enter the UK.

GDP (Good Distribution Practice)

We follow EU and UK GDP guidelines so medicinal products keep their quality from the manufacturer to the end user.

Controlled Drugs Compliance

For controlled substances we manage the Home Office licences and keep the records the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 require, so every movement can be traced.

Serialisation & Traceability

We support FMD (Falsified Medicines Directive) serialisation checks, which stop counterfeit medicines entering the legitimate supply chain.
