Foreign companies importing finished products or raw materials into Indonesia are required to obtain an import license from the Ministry of Health. The National Agency of Drug and Food Control (NA-DFC) is responsible for ensuring the safety, quality and efficacy of pharmaceuticals in Indonesia. The NA-DFC also handles the drug application review process and grants drug approvals in the form of a marketing authorization license.
