This is reference to the web notice published on the NMRA website dated on 5^thMarch 2025 regarding “Current issues related to the products coming under the category of borderline products”

With reference to NMRA Act, No 5 of 2015, no person shall manufacture or import any borderline product without registering with the Authority and obtaining a license from the Authority. If any product is registered with NMRA that will be released through the ASYCUDA system.

NMRA has granted a special approval to release borderline products through the ASYCUDA system prior to the product registrations which have been submitted for product classification on or before 30th April, 2025 in order to streamline the unregistered borderline products.

However, it has been observed that there is a trend of unnecessary products are being flooded to the country due the opening this gate before granting the registration to the products and this may affect the public safety. Therefore the NMRA has decided to release the products with subject to the conditions described as below. Also the consignments could be released until 31, October 2025 and extension is not applicable after31^st October 2025.

1. For consideration of custom clearance of a product, it is mandatory to upload the acknowledgment form/s of application submission (Classification, Sample Import license and Registration Dossier) along with the following documents.

II. Proforma invoice to be issued on or before 31st July 2025

III. Commercial invoice to be issued on or before 31st October 2025

‍

2. Normal registration approval process will be effective for the applications submitted from May 1, 2025, and product release will be conducted through the ASYCUDA system only for the registered products.

3. Anyhow during the registration process (including the classification step) if any product is rejected, the consignment clearance will be discontinued(for 1 & 2).

4. The final decision will be the technical committee decision.
