The Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CoPP) is issued by the competent authority of the exporting country and provides information to the importing country's regulatory authority regarding a pharmaceutical product's registration and manufacturing standards. A CoPP contains details about the product name, manufacturer, and marketing authorization status in the exporting country. It helps smaller drug regulatory authorities assess a product's quality for registration or importation. The three main purposes of a CoPP are for a product under consideration for marketing authorization in an importing country, to renew an existing authorization, or for administrative review.
