By sea, containers and LCL lots take roughly 25–35 days to Apapa (Lagos) and Tin Can Island (Lagos). Air cargo to Lagos Murtala Muhammed (LOS) takes 3–6 days, which suits small and urgent packs. The relevant authority is NAFDAC (National Agency for Food & Drug Administration and Control). Our export desk lines up the COA, GHS SDS and shipping documents to match. Common grades for this division are Key starting material (KSM) specification, Advanced intermediate (customer spec), Building block, ≥95% / ≥98% purity and Chiral (ee specified).

Imports start with Form M, opened through an authorised dealer bank, which ties the transaction to foreign-exchange and customs processing. Most chemicals and all APIs need a NAFDAC import permit obtained by the importer before shipment, so share the permit details with us before we load. Some regulated products also require a SONCAP certificate from the Standards Organisation of Nigeria. Keep the Form M number, NAFDAC permit and our invoice consistent. Dangerous goods must meet IMDG or IATA packing and declaration requirements.

Questions

Pharmaceutical Intermediates for Nigeria

Do you ship pharma intermediates to Nigeria?

Yes. We ship by sea to Apapa (Lagos) and Tin Can Island (Lagos), 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 pharma intermediates shipment to Nigeria?

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 NAFDAC (National Agency for Food & Drug Administration and Control) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Nigeria take?

Allow 25–35 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.

Can you scale an intermediate from grams to kilograms without changing the route?

For many listed intermediates the gram packs and the kilogram supply come from the same manufacturing route, which keeps the impurity profile consistent. Where scale-up needs a different route, we tell you before you commit and can provide comparison samples so your team can check the new material against the old.

How do you control isomer and enantiomer content?

Positional isomers are controlled by HPLC or GC methods suited to the compound, and chiral intermediates are tested by chiral HPLC to report enantiomeric excess. The limits that apply to your lot appear on the COA. If your process needs tighter limits, state them on the enquiry and we will confirm what can be met.
