What is CDSCO MD-15 Import License? Complete Guide 2024
The MD-15 Import License is your official approval to import Class B, C, and D medical devices into India. Without it, you cannot legally bring these products to market. The process is rigorous, but with the right guidance, you can avoid costly mistakes and delays.
Why Now is Critical
India's demand for advanced medical devices is surging. Early compliance means faster market entry and a competitive edge in a $50B+ industry. Don't let regulatory hurdles slow your growth.
Don't Risk Your Business
Importing without an MD-15 License can lead to severe penalties, recalls, and shutdowns. Compliance is not optional for Class B, C & D devices.
