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

Lab Reagents for Colombia

Do you ship lab reagents 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 lab reagents 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 do I tell AR, GR and ACS grades apart when ordering?

AR and GR are trade grades meaning analytical reagent quality, with assay and impurity limits set by the manufacturer. ACS grade follows the specifications published by the American Chemical Society for that compound. The grade you receive is printed on the label and on the lot COA, so you can check it against your method before use.

Can I combine reagents from several sub-categories in a single order?

Yes. Add salts, titrants, indicators and standards to the quote panel from any product page and send them together. We consolidate them into one shipment where the hazard classes allow it, which keeps freight, documentation and customs clearance simpler for your receiving team.
