My understanding is that the product has to be tested in the
importing country. Only in exceptional circumstances is testing in
another country permitted. A couple of years ago one of my clients
imported into Northern Ireland and wished to perform 1 test in the
Republic of Ireland - the test lab was only 20 miles away. This was
refused and the test had to be carried out in the South of England -
several hundred miles away.
Among many other things you should also need to consider which QP
will be responsible for auditing the manufacturer and which QP will
handle Complaints and Recalls. Which address will be on the PIL etc?
You seem to have 2 choices
1) Let the testing company be the importer and after release transfer
the stocks to your company so that you can distribute.
2) Transfer the analytical testing to your company.
