Pharma compliance in Panama
| Authority | MINSA – Dirección Nacional de Farmacia y Drogas |
|---|---|
| Seaports | Balboa, Manzanillo (Colón), Colón Container Terminal |
| Airports | Panama City Tocumen (PTY) |
| Dangerous goods | IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air |
Medicines, APIs and controlled substances need sanitary registration or import licences from MINSA's Dirección Nacional de Farmacia y Drogas, and precursor chemicals face additional control. MiAmbiente covers environmental aspects. Goods landed in the Colón Free Zone for re-export follow a separate regime from goods cleared for the Panamanian market, so the consignee and documents must reflect the intended use. Dangerous goods must be declared under IMDG or IATA rules. Confirm the import route with your broker before booking.
