Chemical compliance in Colombia

Authority	Ministry of Justice (controlled chemical substances) / MinAmbiente. GHS under Decree 1496 of 2018
Seaports	Cartagena, Buenaventura, Barranquilla
Airports	Bogotá El Dorado (BOG), Medellín José María Córdova (MDE)
Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

APIs and finished medicines need INVIMA registration or import authorisation. Many solvents and reagents used in drug manufacture are controlled chemical substances, and the buyer needs a certificate from the Ministry of Justice before import. Colombia has adopted the GHS for classification and labelling under Decree 1496 of 2018. Imports are processed through VUCE and DIAN, and dangerous goods need IMDG or IATA documentation. Allow time for these certificates when planning your first order, because controlled items cannot ship until they are issued.

Questions

Biochemicals for Colombia

Do you ship biochemicals to Colombia?

Yes. We ship by sea to Cartagena and Buenaventura, 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 biochemicals shipment to Colombia?

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 Ministry of Justice (controlled chemical substances) / MinAmbiente. GHS under Decree 1496 of 2018 is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Colombia take?

Allow 30–45 days for ocean transit or 4–6 days by air, plus packing, export clearance and import clearance. The timeline on this page shows each stage.

How are cold-chain biochemicals packed for international transit?

Products that need refrigeration travel in insulated shippers with frozen gel packs, and frozen items go on dry ice with the matching UN 1845 declaration. We pick express or air routes with short transit times and book shipments early in the week so that parcels do not sit in a warehouse over a weekend.

Are your buffers checked for heavy metals and UV absorbance?

Many biological buffers are listed with heavy metal limits and UV absorbance at 260 and 280 nm, because these affect protein and nucleic acid assays. The exact parameters vary by product and grade. Check the specification on the product page or request a sample COA through the quote panel before ordering.
