Dangerous goodsIMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Sea shipments generally need an electronic cargo tracking note (ECTN/BESC), and some imports may fall under verification programmes, so confirm current rules with the importer. APIs and pharmaceutical products fall under ABMed, the national medicines agency. Hazardous chemicals may require environmental clearance from ABE. If cargo landed at Cotonou is moving on to Niger, Burkina Faso or Nigeria, tell us at quotation stage, as transit affects the consignee, routing and documents. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules.

Questions

APIs for Benin

Do you ship APIs to Benin?
Yes. We ship by sea to Cotonou and Lomé (Togo, alternative gateway), 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 Benin?
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 ABMed (Agence Béninoise du Médicament et des autres produits de santé) is agreed with you at quote stage.
How long does delivery to Benin take?
Allow 26–36 days for ocean transit or 4–7 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.
