Seaports	Cotonou, Lomé (Togo, alternative gateway)
Airports	Cotonou Cadjehoun (COO)
Dangerous goods	IMDG 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

Pharmaceutical Intermediates for Benin

Can Zemixal deliver pharmaceutical intermediates 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 pharma intermediates 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.

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.
