Pharma compliance in El Salvador

Authority	DNM (Dirección Nacional de Medicamentos)
Seaports	Acajutla, La Unión
Airports	San Salvador (SAL)
Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Pharmaceutical products and raw materials for medicines are overseen by the DNM, which issues sanitary registrations and import authorisations. Controlled precursors need separate permits held by the importer. MARN covers environmental aspects of chemical handling. Customs clearance follows Central American (SIECA) rules, and dangerous goods must be packed and declared under IMDG or IATA. As the economy uses the US dollar, invoicing in USD avoids currency conversion. Confirm the DNM status of each raw material with your broker before booking freight.

Questions

APIs for El Salvador

Do you ship APIs to El Salvador?

Which documents come with a APIs shipment to El Salvador?

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 DNM (Dirección Nacional de Medicamentos) is agreed with you at quote stage.

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.
