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

Specialty Chemicals for Australia

Can Zemixal deliver specialty chemicals 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 specialty chemicals 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 AICIS (Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme) 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 supply industrial chemicals on a scheduled delivery plan?
Yes. For regular consumption we can agree a call-off schedule, for example monthly or quarterly shipments against an annual volume. This lets us plan production and reserve consistent lots. Share your forecast, pack type and destination port, and we will propose shipment intervals and Incoterms that fit your storage capacity.
Do you offer samples before a bulk order of a specialty chemical?
For most products we can send a representative sample so your team can test it in the actual process, such as a dyeing trial, a resin cure or a fragrance blend. Samples go by courier with an SDS. Once approved, the bulk lot is matched to the sample specification and the COA confirms it.
