Dangerous goodsIMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

APIs and pharmaceutical products need DIGEMID sanitary registration or import authorisation. A long list of chemicals classed as controlled inputs (IQBF) can only be imported by companies registered with SUNAT, and shipments must be reported to it. MINAM covers environmental matters. Clearance is handled by SUNAT customs through the VUCE single window, and dangerous goods require IMDG or IATA documentation. Importers should confirm whether a product is on the IQBF list before ordering, because unregistered companies cannot clear it. A customs broker can check this early.

Questions

APIs for Peru

Do you ship APIs to Peru?
Yes. We ship by sea to Callao and Paita, 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 Peru?
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 DIGEMID is agreed with you at quote stage.
How long does delivery to Peru take?
Allow 35–50 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.
