Legal regulation of the import/export of medicines, medical devices, dietary supplements
Legal regulation of the import/export of medicines, medical products, and dietary supplements has its own characteristics.
Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On the Procedure for the Importation of Medicines for Medical Use into the Territory of the Russian Federation” established a certain subject composition of persons who can import medicines into the territory of the Russian Federation, which includes the following legal entities:
- manufacturers of medicines for the purposes of own production;
- organization of wholesale trade in medicines; foreign drug developers and foreign manufacturers;
- scientific organizations, educational organizations of higher education and manufacturers of medicines with the permission of the Ministry of Health of Russia;
- medical organizations for providing medical care according to the vital indications of a particular patient.
For the importation of drugs into the territory of Russia, it is necessary to obtain an appropriate permit from the Ministry of Health of Russia.
As a general rule, the circulation of medical devices in the Russian Federation is permitted only after their state registration. Thus, the import into the Russian territory of unregistered medical devices is possible only after issuing a permit for a single import into the territory of Russia of medical devices for state registration within 6 months from the date of issue. The registration term after a single import is 6 months.
In accordance with the legislation of the Eurasian Economic Union, the treatment of dietary supplements is possible only provided that they have passed the necessary conformity assessment procedures established by the technical regulations of the Customs Union.
In general, the procedures for importing and exporting from the territory of the Russian Federation medicines, medical devices and dietary supplements differ in their specificity and require interaction with regulatory authorities, as well as a quality approach to the preparation of all necessary documents.
Thus, due to the multidimensional nature of the actions required to be carried out for the import and export to/from the territory of the Russian Federation of medicines, medical devices, and dietary supplements, as well as high material risks if import/export is found to violate the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation or legislation of the Eurasian Economic Union, high-quality and timely legal support in the framework of the support of these legal relations is especially important.
