Dangerous goodsIMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Hazardous chemicals and pharmaceutical raw materials generally need registration or an import permit from the Ministry of Health. Precursor chemicals are controlled through the Instituto Costarricense sobre Drogas (ICD), which issues import authorisations. Customs clearance runs through the TICA electronic system, while free-zone companies import under their own regime. Dangerous goods must be packed and declared under IMDG or IATA rules. Check permit requirements for each product before the order is confirmed, since goods arriving without the right authorisation can be held at customs.

Questions

Inorganics & Metals for Costa Rica

Can Zemixal deliver inorganics & metals to Costa Rica?
Yes. We ship by sea to Moín (Limón) and Puerto Caldera, 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 inorganics & metals shipment to Costa Rica?
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 Ministerio de Salud (hazardous chemical registration) / ICD for precursors is agreed with you at quote stage.
How long does delivery to Costa Rica take?
Allow 32–45 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.
What does 'trace metals basis' mean on an inorganic product?
It means the stated purity is calculated from the measured levels of metallic impurities, usually by ICP-MS or ICP-OES, rather than from a direct assay of the main component. Non-metallic impurities such as oxygen, carbon or moisture may not be included. Check the COA to see which elements were tested and their limits.
Can metals be cut or sized to my drawing?
Many foils, rods, plates and targets can be supplied in custom dimensions, thicknesses or diameters. Send a drawing or the key measurements with the tolerance you need. We will confirm feasibility, lead time and the purity available in that form before quoting, since some shapes are only made from certain grades.
