Pharmaceutical products and APIs generally need sanitary registration or import authorisation from MSPAS, through its department for the regulation and control of pharmaceutical products. Importers of precursor and controlled chemicals need prior licensing from the health ministry. Imports clear through SAT customs, with Central American customs harmonisation (SIECA) rules applying. MARN covers environmental aspects of chemical handling. Hazardous cargo must be packed and declared to IMDG or IATA rules. Your local broker can confirm which permits apply to each product before booking.
