Your Medicine Journey — India to UK Door
From your first enquiry to delivery at your UK address — here is exactly what happens at every stage.
UK import law — know before you ship
UK Import Law — Know Before You Ship — Unlicensed medicines can legally enter the UK for personal use under MHRA rules. We ensure every shipment is structured correctly.
MHRA personal import rules — what UK law says
The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) permits individuals to import medicines from India for their own personal use, even if those medicines are not licensed in the UK. The medicine must be for personal use only, accompanied by a valid prescription, and imported in a quantity not exceeding a 3-month supply. Post-Brexit, all shipments from India now clear UK customs independently — we prepare the full documentation set required by HMRC and MHRA for every shipment.
Share Your Medicine List & Prescription
Send us medicine names, quantities, and your prescription via WhatsApp, email, or the form below. We immediately verify eligibility under MHRA import rules and confirm whether the medicine qualifies for personal import or requires Named Patient basis handling.

We Prepare All UK Customs Documents
We compile the full document set — prescription, commercial invoice, composition sheet, personal use declaration, and post-Brexit HMRC customs declaration. Every document is reviewed before dispatch to prevent UKBF holds.

What MHRA Rules Mean for Your Shipment
The UK has two import pathways for medicines from India. Understanding which applies to your medicine determines the documentation and process required.
Personal import (most common)
- Allowed under MHRA personal import rules
- Medicine must be for your personal use only
- Maximum 3-month supply per shipment
- Valid prescription required for Rx medicines
- Works even if medicine is not licensed in the UK
- Post-Brexit: cleared through UK customs independently
Named Patient basis
- For medicines not available through any UK channel
- Requires a UK-registered doctor to authorise the import
- Oddway International is experienced in Named Patient supply
- Used commonly for specialist cancer and rare disease medicines
- We handle the full documentation process end-to-end
- Larger quantities possible with proper authorisation

Most medicines licensed in India can be imported into the UK for personal use. Here is a quick reference — when in doubt, contact us before ordering.

Quantity limit: MHRA personal import rules permit a maximum 3-month supply per medicine per shipment for personal use.
Documents We Handle For You
Post-Brexit, medicines from India require a more detailed customs declaration than before. Incorrect or incomplete paperwork is the #1 cause of UKBF holds. We prepare and verify everything before dispatch.
Doctor’s Prescription
Mandatory for all prescription drugs. Must include patient name, medicine name, dosage, and prescribing doctor’s GMC/registration details.
Personal Use Declaration
A signed statement confirming medicines are for the importer’s personal use only — a core MHRA requirement for personal import.
Commercial Invoice
Itemised invoice with medicine names, quantities, unit price, and total value in GBP/USD for HMRC customs clearance.
Composition / Drug Info Sheet
Generic name, active ingredients, strength, and dosage form — required for UKBF pharmaceutical classification post-Brexit.
Sender & Recipient ID
Passport or UK government-issued ID of the recipient, plus sender identification from India.
Post-Brexit HMRC Customs Declaration
