Supplying solvents (HPLC & GC) to Costa Rica

By sea, containers and LCL lots take roughly 32–45 days to Moín (Limón) and Puerto Caldera. Air cargo to San José Juan Santamaría (SJO) takes 4–6 days, which suits small and urgent packs. The relevant authority is Ministerio de Salud (hazardous chemical registration) / ICD for precursors. Our export desk lines up the COA, GHS SDS and shipping documents to match. Common grades for this division are HPLC / gradient grade, LC-MS grade, Spectroscopy (UV/IR) grade and GC / headspace grade.

Dangerous goods	IMDG 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

Solvents (HPLC & GC) for Costa Rica

Do you ship HPLC & GC solvents 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 HPLC & GC solvents 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.

Which solvent grade should I use for LC-MS rather than HPLC-UV?

LC-MS methods need solvents with very low metal ion and non-volatile residue content, because sodium and potassium adducts and background ions show up in the mass spectrum. HPLC-UV methods care mainly about UV cut-off and particle content. Choose LC-MS grade for mass detection and gradient HPLC grade for UV work to balance cost and performance.

How should opened bottles of HPLC solvent be stored?

Keep bottles tightly capped, away from light and at room temperature, and avoid topping up reservoirs with fresh solvent over old. Acetonitrile and methanol absorb moisture and pick up contaminants from the air, and tetrahydrofuran can form peroxides once its stabiliser is used up. Date each bottle on opening and follow your lab's in-use period.
