Grades in this division
Chemical compliance in Mexico
| Authority | SEMARNAT / COFEPRIS |
|---|---|
| Seaports | Manzanillo, Lázaro Cárdenas, Veracruz |
| Airports | Mexico City (MEX), Mexico City Felipe Ángeles (NLU) |
| Dangerous goods | IMDG 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.
