Pharma compliance in Colombia

Authority	INVIMA
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

Pharmaceutical Intermediates for Colombia

Can Zemixal deliver pharmaceutical intermediates 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 pharma intermediates 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 INVIMA 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.

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.
