Dangerous goodsIMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Every Australian business that imports industrial chemicals must register with AICIS and categorise each introduction, and substances not on the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals need assessment or reporting. APIs and therapeutic goods fall under the TGA. Precursors, narcotics and some psychotropics need import permits from the Office of Drug Control. SDS must meet the Model WHS Regulations, which the importer usually prepares or reviews. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules, and ECTA preference needs a certificate of origin.

Questions

APIs for Australia

Do you ship APIs to Australia?
Yes. We ship by sea to Melbourne and Sydney (Port Botany), by air cargo or by express courier depending on quantity and urgency. Every lot carries a COA and a 16-section GHS SDS.
Which documents come with a APIs shipment to Australia?
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of analysis and SDS as standard, plus the bill of lading or air waybill and a certificate of origin. Anything specific to TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) is agreed with you at quote stage.
How long does delivery to Australia take?
Allow 22–32 days for ocean transit or 3–6 days by air, plus packing, export clearance and import clearance. The timeline on this page shows each stage.
What information should I include when requesting an API quotation?
State the molecule, required pharmacopoeia and edition, quantity, intended use and destination country. Mention any special needs such as micronised particle size, a specific polymorph or limits on residual solvents. If your regulator needs manufacturer documents, list them too, so we can confirm availability before pricing.
Can you supply small API samples for formulation trials?
Many APIs can be supplied in development quantities for pre-formulation and stability work. The available sample size depends on the manufacturer and on how the molecule is regulated. Share your project stage and the amount you need, and we will advise what can ship as a sample and what requires a full commercial order.
