Dangerous goodsIMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Medicines, APIs and many health-related chemicals need approval from the Maldives Food and Drug Authority (MFDA). Certain hazardous substances are restricted items that require an import permit before shipment, so check the list with Maldives Customs Service. Environmental matters fall under the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy. Most sea cargo from India is transhipped at Colombo, so allow for that in planning. A SAFTA certificate of origin can support preferential duty. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules.

Questions

APIs for Maldives

Can Zemixal deliver APIs to Maldives?
Yes. We ship by sea to Malé and Colombo (transhipment), 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 Maldives?
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 MFDA (Maldives Food and Drug Authority) is agreed with you at quote stage.
How long does delivery to Maldives take?
Allow 8–14 days for ocean transit or 2–3 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.
