Dangerous goodsIMDG 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

Inorganics & Metals for Ecuador

Do you ship inorganics & metals 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 inorganics & metals 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 MAATE (Ministry of Environment) / national controlled-substances authority 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 does 'trace metals basis' mean on an inorganic product?
It means the stated purity is calculated from the measured levels of metallic impurities, usually by ICP-MS or ICP-OES, rather than from a direct assay of the main component. Non-metallic impurities such as oxygen, carbon or moisture may not be included. Check the COA to see which elements were tested and their limits.
Can metals be cut or sized to my drawing?
Many foils, rods, plates and targets can be supplied in custom dimensions, thicknesses or diameters. Send a drawing or the key measurements with the tolerance you need. We will confirm feasibility, lead time and the purity available in that form before quoting, since some shapes are only made from certain grades.
