Amend a Chinese Proprietary Medicine dealer's licence

You have to apply to amend an approved dealer's licence if there are changes to be made to the details of your company.

You may amend your company's information in order to change particulars such as company name and address, provided there is no change to the company's Unique Entity Number (UEN). For change in UEN, you will need to apply for a new CRIS account and thereafter submit a new application.

You may also amend the applicant's details for licences and applications, such as name and contact details.

Note: Amendments to company or applicant details will affect all registrations and licences your company has with us. There are no fees for such amendments.

Site inspections may be conducted by us for certain amendments such as those that would have direct impact on the product's quality.

An example of an amendment that requires site inspection is the inclusion of a new warehouse or change in location or address of the current warehouse for the storage of Chinese Proprietary Medicines.

Amendments not requiring site inspection

An amendment that does not require site inspection is the deletion of an existing warehouse.
