FAQQuestions

Frequently asked questions

How do you lower the chance of deficiency notices?

We pre-check the state of your data and map category-specific review points before filing, so specialists catch gaps and errors in advance. Deficiencies can still occur depending on the product and clinical data — one round of deficiency response is included in the base fee.

What does the service fee include?

The full registration cycle: technical file writing, MFDS filing, review communication, one round of deficiency response, and certificate issuance. Product testing costs, KGMP reviewing-body charges, and overseas certification costs (FDA, CE, etc.) are separate and clearly itemized in the quote.

How long does it take?

It depends on class and readiness. Typically: Class 1 notification 2–4 weeks, Class 2 certification 3–4 months, Class 3 approval 6–8 months. Class 4 can exceed a year when clinical trials are required.

N-00Founder's Note

Hello. I am Yoon Da-ye of CLARE Partners.

There is one thing almost everyone says
when they first look into approval in Korea:

“I don't even know where to begin.”

I felt exactly that when I started out.
So at CLARE Partners I made one principle

non-negotiable: I stay with your case myself,

from the first call to the licence in hand.

Explaining your product again because
the person in charge changed.

A quote where you cannot tell the government

fee from our own.

Waiting on a reply that never comes.

I would rather you never met any of it.

The approvals we have completed,
we show as issued documents.

The costs we quote, we show line by line.

I will not tell you this is an easy road.
I will tell you that you will not walk it alone.

To everyone who has trusted us with an enquiry:
thank you, sincerely.

Yoon Da-ye, CEO, CLARE Partners
