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

Pharmaceutical Intermediates for Australia

Can Zemixal deliver pharmaceutical intermediates 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 pharma intermediates 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.
Can you scale an intermediate from grams to kilograms without changing the route?
For many listed intermediates the gram packs and the kilogram supply come from the same manufacturing route, which keeps the impurity profile consistent. Where scale-up needs a different route, we tell you before you commit and can provide comparison samples so your team can check the new material against the old.
How do you control isomer and enantiomer content?
Positional isomers are controlled by HPLC or GC methods suited to the compound, and chiral intermediates are tested by chiral HPLC to report enantiomeric excess. The limits that apply to your lot appear on the COA. If your process needs tighter limits, state them on the enquiry and we will confirm what can be met.
