Grades in this division
Pharma compliance in Jordan
| Authority | JFDA (Jordan Food & Drug Administration) |
|---|---|
| Seaports | Aqaba |
| Airports | Queen Alia International, Amman (AMM) |
| Dangerous goods | IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air |
Hazardous chemicals generally need import approval from the Ministry of Environment, and certain precursors require further clearance from security or drug-control authorities. APIs and excipients fall under the JFDA, which usually expects GMP evidence from the manufacturer and a COA for every batch. Plan for these checks before you place a production-scale order. Most sea cargo enters through Aqaba, so the bill of lading and dangerous goods declaration should name it as the port of discharge. IMDG rules apply at sea and IATA rules for air. There is no India–Jordan trade agreement in force.
