Dangerous goodsIMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

COFEPRIS controls imports of APIs, medicines, precursors and many toxic substances, generally through sanitary import permits and, for APIs, registration-linked documents and GMP evidence. SEMARNAT regulates hazardous materials and wastes with environmental impact. Workplace hazard communication follows NOM-018-STPS-2015, which calls for a GHS-harmonised SDS in Spanish, usually arranged by the importer. Importers must be listed in the Padrón de Importadores, and a Mexican customs broker files the pedimento. Your customs broker can confirm which sector registrations apply before the order ships.

Questions

APIs for Mexico

Can Zemixal deliver APIs to Mexico?
Yes. We ship by sea to Manzanillo and Lázaro Cárdenas, 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 Mexico?
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 COFEPRIS is agreed with you at quote stage.
How long does delivery to Mexico take?
Allow 32–45 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.
