Hong Kong is a free port with no customs duty on chemicals, but import and export declarations must still be lodged with Customs. Scheduled hazardous chemicals under the Hazardous Chemicals Control Ordinance need an EPD permit. Pharmaceutical products and poisons require licences from the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and Department of Health import licences, and storage of dangerous goods is licensed by the Fire Services Department. Controlled precursors need separate licences. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules.

Questions

APIs for Hong Kong

Do you ship APIs to Hong Kong?

Yes. We ship by sea to Hong Kong (Kwai Tsing Container Terminals), 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 Hong Kong?

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 Pharmacy and Poisons Board / Department of Health (Drug Office) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Hong Kong take?

Allow 14–20 days for ocean transit or 2–4 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.
