Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Pharmaceuticals and APIs need registration or an import permit from the Ministry of Health and Wellness. Pesticides and some hazardous chemicals fall under the Pesticides Control Authority, and NEPA covers environmental matters. Many goods also require an import licence through the Trade Board. Customs clearance runs through the Jamaica Customs Agency, and dangerous goods must be packed and declared under IMDG or IATA rules. Check licence needs for each product early so that goods are not held on arrival.

Questions

APIs for Jamaica

Do you ship APIs to Jamaica?

Yes. We ship by sea to Kingston and Montego Bay, 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 Jamaica?

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 Ministry of Health and Wellness – Standards and Regulation Division is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Jamaica take?

Allow 30–45 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.
