The guidance explains how to get a parallel import licence for medicine in the UK, including pharmacovigilance requirements and submitting your application. Parallel Import Licence application categories fall into 3 categories: Parallel import (simple), Parallel import (complex) and Parallel import (standard).
A tell-and-do (TaD) variation allows you to submit a variation for a change to the imported product, and MHRA will assess the variation while the product is repackaged and distributed. To make a TaD variation the imported product must be in MR-DC product list. A PLPI is granted for 5 years and Renewals must be submitted in the 3 months before the licence expires.
