Form COS-1, Form 10, MDR 2017 — CDSCO licences filed, queried and granted, with AIR mandates for foreign brands.
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation regulates the import of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, biologicals and medical devices. No regulated product enters India commercially without its licence — and every application flows through the SUGAM online portal.

Foreign manufacturers must appoint an Authorised Indian Representative who holds the licence and carries regulatory responsibility in India. Bruce Logistics serves as AIR for multiple international brands — one mandate can cover multiple products from the same manufacturer, formalised through a power of attorney and notified to CDSCO.
