Global Regulatory Partners (GRP) shows up when manufacturers search for a Latin American registration holder or sanitary-registration partner. This article uses only what Global Regulatory Partners (GRP) publishes on its own site (globalregulatorypartners.com/registration-holder-for-medical-devices-imported-from-mexico · globalregulatorypartners.com/countries/brazils-anvisa), then compares it with multi-country market access from bioaccess®. It is a practitioner comparison, not a teardown.
What Global Regulatory Partners (GRP) publishes
Global Regulatory Partners (GRP) is a Massachusetts regulatory firm with affiliates in China, Japan, Brazil and Mexico. Its public pages say GRP-Brazil is licensed by ANVISA to act as Brazilian Registration Holder, and that GRP Mexico is COFEPRIS-licensed to act as Mexico Registration Holder and local representative. The Mexico page pitches an independent holder, so a manufacturer can add distributors without handing them the dossier, and also lists importation, warehousing and distribution.
Global Regulatory Partners (GRP) vs bioaccess®
| Dimension | Global Regulatory Partners (GRP) | bioaccess® |
|---|---|---|
| Public product | ANVISA BRH and COFEPRIS MRH through its own licensed affiliates; Mexico import, warehousing, distribution | Registration, in-country holder, certified translations, tecnovigilancia as holder (import shipments quoted separately) |
| Geography | Brazil and Mexico | Published pricing in Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Peru and Argentina; other markets quoted case by case |
| Public pricing | None published | Two-part: one-time registration fee per country by class, then an annual holder fee from year 2 (rate card) |
| Holder vs distributor | See the provider’s own terms | Holder under contract (own Colombian entity in Colombia; local partner elsewhere), with defined transfer provisions; the registration is never leverage |
| Bridge from a clinical trial | None published | Same firm can run the LATAM clinical trial and then hold the commercial registration |
Where each one fits
If Brazil and Mexico are the only Latin American markets on the plan, and you also want GRP for China or Japan, its own-affiliate model covers that job.
bioaccess® market access is a different product. bioaccess® registers already FDA-cleared or CE-marked devices and acts as their registration holder under contract (in Colombia through its own Colombian entity; elsewhere with its local partner) across Latin American markets, including COFEPRIS, ANVISA, INVIMA, ANMAT, ISP and DIGEMID. Pricing is two-part pricing: a one-time registration fee per country by device class, then a lower annual holder fee from year 2 (published for Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Peru and Argentina on the rate card). Importer-of-record shipments are quoted separately. The registration is held for the manufacturer’s benefit, with defined transfer provisions if you ever change partners or set up your own entity.
One country and one local partner is enough? Hire the firm that publishes that job. Several LATAM labels under one holder who is not your distributor? Start at bioaccess® market access, read the LATAM importer of record guide, try the market-access calculator, or request a registration quote.
