Expand Internationally with a Certificate of Free Sales (CFS)
Legal background
What countries require a Certificate of Free Sale? The answer includes a wide range of non-EU and non-UK territories—such as Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Thailand. These countries often request a CFS to authorise the import and sale of medical devices, making it an essential document for regulatory submissions and customs clearance. If you want to expand your business beyond the UK, the CFS is an essential tool. Many non-EU countries accept the UK CFS as evidence that the device complies with stringent safety and regulatory standards, simplifying the export process.
Benefits of obtaining a CFS include:
-
- Facilitates market entry into third countries.
- Provides official proof of compliance with the UK MDR.
- Strengthens your reputation with international stakeholders.
- Helps meet documentation requirements for foreign regulators.
