Pharmaceutical products and APIs are regulated by DIGEMAPS under the Ministry of Public Health, which issues sanitary registrations and import permits. Precursor chemicals require authorisation linked to the national drug control authority, DNCD. Companies operating in free zones import under that regime's rules. The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources covers environmental aspects. Dangerous goods must be packed and declared under IMDG or IATA rules. Your customs broker can confirm which permits apply before the cargo is booked.
