A CDSCO Import for Test License is a permission granted by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 that allows the import of limited quantities of drugs, medical devices, or cosmetics into India strictly for testing, analysis, or research purposes. This license, typically issued in Form 11, is intended for non-commercial use, meaning the imported products cannot be sold or distributed in the market. It is commonly used by pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and testing laboratories to evaluate product quality, safety, and performance before seeking full regulatory approval. The application for this license is submitted through the SUGAM Portal, and it usually remains valid for a specified period, such as one year.
