Grades in this division
Chemical compliance in Ecuador
| Authority | MAATE (Ministry of Environment) / national controlled-substances authority |
|---|---|
| Seaports | Guayaquil, Posorja, Manta |
| Airports | Guayaquil (GYE), Quito (UIO) |
| 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.
