Portugal applies EU REACH and CLP. For substances imported at 1 tonne or more per year, the EU importer or an Only Representative for the Indian manufacturer must hold the registration. SDS and labels must be in Portuguese. Medicinal active substances need GMP compliance and an EU written confirmation, and INFARMED supervises authorised importers. Hazardous goods are packed and declared under IMDG or IATA DGR, and customs clearance requires the importer's EORI number.

Questions

APIs for Portugal

Do you ship APIs to Portugal?

Yes. We ship by sea to Sines and Leixões, 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 Portugal?

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 INFARMED / EMA is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Portugal take?

Allow 20–28 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.
