You must apply for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for Samples from DGDA first. This NOC allows you to clear a small number of units through customs solely for "Testing and Registration Purposes." If the NCL lacks the technical capacity to test your device (which is common for Class D), the DGDA Technical Committee will usually request a "Method Validation Report" and may allow the use of your own ISO 17025 accredited lab reports. However, in 2026, DGDA has been increasingly requesting "Sample Analysis" via a local government-designated expert physician to verify the clinical handling of the device before the final Registration Certificate is issued.

Our high-risk Class D cardiac stents require mandatory laboratory testing in Bangladesh as part of the registration process. How do we legally ship these samples before we have a Registration Certificate? Also, if the National Control Laboratory (NCL) does not have the specific equipment to test our specific stent coating, will DGDA accept our in-house test reports or require us to pay for a foreign lab audit?
