Import concessions for life-saving drugs may require a medical practitioner certificate and adherence to notification procedures.
For personal import of life saving drugs a medical practitioner's certificate must be submitted to Customs to support medical necessity. Customs Notification No. 12/2012 (Lists 3 and 4) lists specific drugs eligible for concessional or nil duty and prescribes the procedure for personal import; applicability to commercial imports was queried but not answered in the discussion.
