Seaports	Shanghai, Ningbo-Zhoushan, Shenzhen
Airports	Shanghai Pudong (PVG), Beijing Capital (PEK)
Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Substances not listed on the Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances in China (IECSC) need new chemical substance registration with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment before import. Hazardous chemicals are inspected by GACC, which checks packaging and Chinese-language labels and SDS. APIs need NMPA registration or linkage to a drug filing. Precursor chemicals require import licences. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules, and APTA preference requires a certificate of origin.

Questions

Pharmaceutical Intermediates for China

Do you ship pharma intermediates to China?

Yes. We ship by sea to Shanghai and Ningbo-Zhoushan, 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 China?

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 NMPA is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to China take?

Allow 18–26 days for ocean transit or 3–5 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.
