Seaports	Tema, Takoradi

Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Industrial and hazardous chemicals generally need registration or an import permit from Ghana's Environmental Protection Authority. APIs and pharmaceutical raw materials require an FDA Ghana import permit, which the importer should obtain before shipment. Customs declarations are processed through the national single window, so the consignee, HS codes and values on our invoice must match the declaration. Mining reagents are often hazardous, and shipments carrying them must have an IMDG or IATA dangerous goods declaration. There is no India–Ghana trade agreement in force.

Questions

APIs for Ghana

Can Zemixal deliver APIs to Ghana?

Yes. We ship by sea to Tema and Takoradi, 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 Ghana?

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 FDA Ghana (Food and Drugs Authority) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Ghana take?

Allow 25–35 days for ocean transit or 3–6 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.
