Pharma compliance in Japan

Authority	PMDA / MHLW
Seaports	Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe
Airports	Tokyo Narita (NRT), Osaka Kansai (KIX)
Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

New chemical substances must be notified under the Chemical Substances Control Law (CSCL), administered jointly by METI, MHLW and MOE, and importers report annual volumes of existing substances. The Industrial Safety and Health Act (ISHL) requires Japanese-language SDS and labels for listed substances, prepared by the importer. APIs need registration in the Japanese Drug Master File system with PMDA and foreign manufacturer accreditation. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules, and CEPA preference requires a certificate of origin.

Questions

Pharmaceutical Intermediates for Japan

Can Zemixal deliver pharmaceutical intermediates to Japan?

Yes. We ship by sea to Tokyo and Yokohama, 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 pharma intermediates shipment to Japan?

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 PMDA / MHLW is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Japan take?

Allow 20–30 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.

Can you scale an intermediate from grams to kilograms without changing the route?

For many listed intermediates the gram packs and the kilogram supply come from the same manufacturing route, which keeps the impurity profile consistent. Where scale-up needs a different route, we tell you before you commit and can provide comparison samples so your team can check the new material against the old.

How do you control isomer and enantiomer content?

Positional isomers are controlled by HPLC or GC methods suited to the compound, and chiral intermediates are tested by chiral HPLC to report enantiomeric excess. The limits that apply to your lot appear on the COA. If your process needs tighter limits, state them on the enquiry and we will confirm what can be met.
