Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Medicines, APIs and many health-related raw materials need sanitary registration or import authorisation from ARCSA. Chemicals classed as controlled substances require prior import permits from the national control authority, held by the buyer. MAATE covers environmental aspects. Customs clearance is handled by SENAE through the ECUAPASS single window, and dangerous goods must be declared under IMDG or IATA rules. Permit and registration status should be confirmed before booking, since goods arriving without the right authorisation can be held. A local broker can check each product early.

Questions

APIs for Ecuador

Can Zemixal deliver APIs to Ecuador?

Yes. We ship by sea to Guayaquil and Posorja, 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 APIs shipment to Ecuador?

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 ARCSA (Agencia de Regulación, Control y Vigilancia Sanitaria) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Ecuador take?

Allow 35–50 days for ocean transit or 4–7 days by air, plus packing, export clearance and import clearance. The timeline on this page shows each stage.

What information should I include when requesting an API quotation?

State the molecule, required pharmacopoeia and edition, quantity, intended use and destination country. Mention any special needs such as micronised particle size, a specific polymorph or limits on residual solvents. If your regulator needs manufacturer documents, list them too, so we can confirm availability before pricing.

Can you supply small API samples for formulation trials?

Many APIs can be supplied in development quantities for pre-formulation and stability work. The available sample size depends on the manufacturer and on how the molecule is regulated. Share your project stage and the amount you need, and we will advise what can ship as a sample and what requires a full commercial order.
