German imports follow EU REACH and CLP. A substance arriving at 1 tonne or more per year must be registered by the EU importer or by an Only Representative acting for the Indian manufacturer, and labels and SDS must be in German. Medicinal active substances require GMP compliance and an EU written confirmation, with the competent Länder authorities and BfArM overseeing authorised importers. Dangerous goods must be packed and declared under IMDG or IATA DGR, and customs needs the importer's EORI number.

Questions

APIs for Germany

Can Zemixal deliver APIs to Germany?

Yes. We ship by sea to Hamburg and Bremerhaven, 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 Germany?

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 BfArM / EMA is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Germany take?

Allow 24–30 days for ocean transit or 3–5 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.
