Chemicals must appear on the Philippine Inventory of Chemicals and Chemical Substances (PICCS) or go through pre-manufacture notification with EMB-DENR. Substances on the Priority Chemical List, or covered by a Chemical Control Order, need registration and import clearance. APIs and drug products require FDA Philippines licensing of the importer, and dangerous drug precursors are licensed by PDEA. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules, and AITIGA preference requires a certificate of origin.

Questions

APIs for Philippines

Can Zemixal deliver APIs to Philippines?

Yes. We ship by sea to Manila (MICT) and Batangas, 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 Philippines?

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 FDA Philippines is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Philippines take?

Allow 16–24 days for ocean transit or 3–5 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.
