Pharmaceutical export refers to the international distribution of medicinal products, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, from one country to another. This process involves the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping of pharmaceuticals to meet the needs of foreign markets. It plays a crucial role in global healthcare by ensuring that medications are accessible to populations in different regions.

The pharmaceutical export process must adhere to strict regulatory standards to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the products. This includes compliance with both the exporting country’s and the importing country’s regulations. Key aspects of pharmaceutical export include documentation, customs clearance, and adherence to international trade agreements.
