Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Hazardous and dual-use chemicals usually need prior import approval, with the Ministry of Environment and other ministries involved depending on the substance. APIs and medicines are regulated by the Ministry of Public Health, which typically requires product registration and batch documentation. Given the economic situation, settlement is commonly in US dollars and payment terms should be agreed in writing before goods leave India. Keep approvals, invoices and the COA consistent so clearance in Beirut is not delayed. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules.

Questions

APIs for Lebanon

Can Zemixal deliver APIs to Lebanon?

Yes. We ship by sea to Beirut and Tripoli, 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 Lebanon?

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 Public Health is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Lebanon take?

Allow 18–26 days for ocean transit or 3–6 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.
