What Does a Medical Device Distributor in Malaysia Do?
Pharmaceutical importers in Malaysia must hold valid licenses, including an Import License, Wholesale License, and for certain products, a Poison License. Products must be registered under the Drug Control Authority (DCA) depending on their classification. Without proper licensing, customs clearance will be denied, and the importer may face regulatory penalties.
Compliance with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) is also mandatory. GDP sets the standards for how pharmaceutical products should be transported, stored, and handled throughout the supply chain. This includes maintaining temperature controls, implementing traceability systems, and ensuring that the importer’s operations are audit-ready at any time.
In Malaysia, all medical devices must be registered with the Medical Device Authority (MDA) before distribution. This ensures regulatory compliance under the Medical Device Act and protects product quality, safety, and traceability.
Octopus Distribution helps streamline this process for manufacturers and importers. Through our regulatory affairs service, we manage classification, licensing, establishment registration, and ongoing documentation. Our team keeps your registration aligned with local regulations, reducing approval times and preventing costly delays.

Can Octopus help with medical device registration in Malaysia?
Yes. We offer regulatory support for medical device registration.
What’s the difference between a licensed distributor and a logistics provider?
A licensed distributor is authorised by MDA to import and distribute regulated devices. A general logistics provider may not be legally permitted to handle or store medical devices.
