Pharmaceutical Supplier from Pakistan to Nigeria
Nigeria is Africa's largest medicine market and still imports most of its finished pharmaceuticals. Paradise Pharma offers Nigerian importers, distributors and hospital suppliers a DRAP-licensed source for the everyday products that move fastest: paediatric paracetamol and ibuprofen suspensions, ORS sachets, povidone iodine and hydrogen peroxide antiseptics and glycerin suppositories. We are looking for one Nigerian import partner to register and distribute these products under an exclusive arrangement.
Registering with NAFDAC
Imported medicines are registered with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). The applicant is a Nigerian company acting as the marketing authorisation holder, so we work with your firm as our local representative. NAFDAC asks for a Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CoPP) from the exporting regulator, evidence of GMP, a full product dossier, samples for laboratory analysis and, for a new foreign manufacturer, an inspection of the factory. We supply the CoPP through DRAP, our GMP and ISO certificates, the CTD dossier with stability data for climatic zone IVb and the samples, and we host the NAFDAC inspection at our Lahore plant.
Shipping from Karachi to Lagos
Sea freight from Karachi to the Lagos ports (Apapa and Tin Can Island) takes roughly four to five weeks. Consignments leave with the commercial invoice, packing list, Certificate of Origin, DRAP export permission and the per-batch Certificate of Analysis needed for NAFDAC port clearance. Air freight from Lahore is used for samples and urgent hospital orders.
Products that sell in Nigeria
Nigerian buyers ask us first for paracetamol 120 mg/5 ml suspension in 60 ml bottles, ORS sachets for pharmacies and PHC programmes, povidone iodine 10 % in 60 ml and 450 ml, hydrogen peroxide 6 % and glycerin suppositories. Private-label versions with your brand and English artwork are available for distributors who want their own line.
Documents we provide
Certificate of Analysis for every batch, Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product and Free Sale Certificate through DRAP, our DRAP licence and ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 and HACCP certificates, a CTD dossier with zone IVb stability data, samples, and the invoice, packing list and Certificate of Origin for customs. See the full list on the export page.
Questions from Nigeria buyers
Can you register the product in your own name in Nigeria?
No. NAFDAC registers imported products in the name of a Nigerian applicant. We supply everything the file needs and attend the inspection; the certificate is issued to you.
Do you offer credit terms?
First orders are on letter of credit or bank transfer with an advance. Established distributors can discuss terms after the first shipments.
We are looking for an import partner in Nigeria
Our products are registered in Pakistan only. In each country we want one partner who registers them in their own name, with our complete file, and distributes them exclusively. Here is what that partner receives, and who we are looking for.
One partner per country for the products they register; we do not sell the same products to a second importer in your territory while the agreement runs.
CTD dossier, CoPP and Free Sale Certificate through DRAP, GMP and ISO certificates, zone IVb stability data and samples - prepared by us, submitted in your name.
When your regulator inspects the foreign manufacturer, we host the visit at our Lahore plant and answer every query.
You buy from the manufacturer, not through a trader. Private label with your own brand is available for volume lines.
Product artwork, leaflets and technical data sheets in English, Arabic or French, and a named contact at the plant who answers within one business day.
Who we are looking for
- A licensed pharmaceutical importer, wholesaler or scientific bureau registered with your country's regulator.
- Able to hold the product registrations in your company's name and act as the local representative.
- Selling to pharmacies, hospitals, NGOs or public tenders, with your own warehouse and distribution.
- Ready to start with a registration project for two to five products and a first mixed-container order after approval.
