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

Pharmaceutical Intermediates for Costa Rica

Can Zemixal deliver pharmaceutical intermediates 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 pharma intermediates 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 – Dirección de Regulación de Productos de Interés Sanitario 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.
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.
