Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Imports of APIs and pharmaceutical raw materials need a recommendation from the Department of Drug Administration (DDA), and some chemicals require approval from the relevant ministry. Most cargo from India enters by road through Raxaul–Birgunj and is cleared on a customs declaration by a Nepali agent, so a road consignment note and transit papers are part of the set. The India–Nepal Treaty of Trade gives preferential access to many Indian goods, and SAFTA may also apply. Dangerous goods must be packed and labelled for road transport.

Questions

Specialty Chemicals for Nepal

Can Zemixal deliver specialty chemicals to Nepal?

Yes. We ship by sea to Birgunj ICD (via Raxaul, road/rail) and Kolkata/Haldia (for third-country cargo), 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 specialty chemicals shipment to Nepal?

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 Department of Environment / Ministry of Industry is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Nepal take?

Allow 6–10 days for ocean transit or 2–4 days by air, plus packing, export clearance and import clearance. The timeline on this page shows each stage.

Can you supply industrial chemicals on a scheduled delivery plan?

Yes. For regular consumption we can agree a call-off schedule, for example monthly or quarterly shipments against an annual volume. This lets us plan production and reserve consistent lots. Share your forecast, pack type and destination port, and we will propose shipment intervals and Incoterms that fit your storage capacity.

Do you offer samples before a bulk order of a specialty chemical?

For most products we can send a representative sample so your team can test it in the actual process, such as a dyeing trial, a resin cure or a fragrance blend. Samples go by courier with an SDS. Once approved, the bulk lot is matched to the sample specification and the COA confirms it.
