- The Law on Medical Devices (RM OG No. 79/04, and OG MNE No. 53/09 and 40/11);  - The Law on the control of manufacture and mark eting of substances that can be used in the

 The Article 5 of Law on Medicines (OG MNE No. 56/11 and 06/13) envisages that Government of 
Montenegro may determine alternative procedure and conditions for the issuance of marketing 
authorisation for a medicine. 
 
Procedures 
6.   
I. Information on permitted annual quotas for import of drugs are published on the website of 
the International Narcotics Control Board ( http://www.incb.com/ ). Quotas are formed on the 
basis of needs that importers submit to the Agency for each drug individually on annual level. 
After processing these data, the Agency sends data to the Ministry of Health, which sends these data for the approval to the International Narcotics Control Board Authority in Vienna 
(INCB). In the event that there is increased needs in relation to the required annual quota, 
Agency through the Ministry of Health may, with an explanation, ask for an increase in quotas for certain drugs.   
All the information needed to obtain import authorisation for drugs (regulations, instructions 
and forms) the importer can find on the website of the Agency http://calims.me/   
 
II. Amount of quotas is determined annually by the International Narcotics Control Board. 
Application for import may be submitted by necessity, with the condition not to exceed the quota, and the validity period is 6 months and it applies to a single import. 
 
III. The Agency sends one copy of the import license for drugs to the Customs Administration, 
and after customs clearance of the goods, Cust oms returns this copy of the license to the 
Agency, which contain details of the realisation of imported products. The amount that has 
not been imported is not counted into the allowed quota. The importer receives two copies 
of import license, one of which must be sent to the competent authority of the exporting country. 
 
IV. Applications may be submitted immediately after publishing quotas.  
V.  The period needed for processing applications and issuing license for the import of drugs is 
up to 30 days. Processing is usually done within 7 days. 
 VI.  Import can be done immediately after obtaining import licence (date of issuance of the licence 
is stated on the licence). 
 VII. Processing of applications for import of drugs is performed only by one administrative body - 
Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices. 
 VIII. If the demand for licences cannot be completely fulfilled i.e. if a small amount is missing for 
fulfilling an annual quota, the applicant which did not import his stated year demand takes 
precedence over others for obtaining import licence for a certain drug (see answer to question I). Applications for import are processed according to the date of receipt, chronologically. The new importer who obtained wholesale licence for marketing of drugs, 
must submit annual demand for drugs before submitting an application for import. 
 IX. Import licences are always needed, regardless of the fact that exporting countries issues 
export licences. Import licences are not issued automatically. 
 X. Not applicable. 
 
XI. There have been no such cases so far. Legal provisions provide that the procedure for 
approving the import of drugs is identical regardless of whether the product will be marketed in Montenegro or exported to other countries (what requires a special export licence). G/LIC/N/3/MNE/1 
 
- 5 - 
 
  7. (a) Products that are not subjected to the limi tation in quantitative terms are medicines (for 
human and veterinary use), precursors and medical devices. The application for import for these products may be submitted at any time. The time-limit for issuing licence is 30 days. This term is most often 7 days, or if the goods have already 
arrived at the customs and at the request of th e importer, it may be even shorter, i.e. be 
done by priority (providing all necessa ry documentation is still obligatory). 
 
(b) Yes. 
 (c) There are no limitations as to the period of the year during which application for licence and/or 
importation may be made. 
 
(d) Processing of applications for import is performed only by one administrative body - Agency

accordance with:
