Supplying pharmaceutical intermediates to Bhutan
Sea freight reaches Phuentsholing (road from India) and Kolkata (for third-country cargo) in about 7–10 days port to port. Urgent or small lots fly to Paro (PBH) in 2–4 days. Import compliance for this category sits with BFDA (Bhutan Food and Drug Authority), and we prepare the COA, SDS and commercial documents your broker needs. Common grades for this division are Key starting material (KSM) specification, Advanced intermediate (customer spec), Building block, ≥95% / ≥98% purity and Chiral (ee specified).

Trade with India is largely duty-free under the India–Bhutan Trade Agreement, and most goods cross the border at Phuentsholing by road. Medicines and APIs need authorisation from the Bhutan Food and Drug Authority (BFDA) before dispatch. Hazardous chemicals are subject to environmental and safety controls overseen by the National Environment Commission. Paperwork is generally simpler than for overseas markets, but a correct invoice, road consignment note, COA and SDS remain essential, and dangerous goods must be packed and labelled for road transport.
