Airports	Colombo Bandaranaike (CMB)
Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

APIs and medicines require NMRA registration and an import licence, so the importer should have both in place before ordering. Precursor chemicals are controlled by the National Dangerous Drugs Control Board, and some chemicals also need an import control licence from the Department of Imports and Exports Control. The Central Environmental Authority covers environmental matters. To claim a tariff concession, tell us whether you will use the India–Sri Lanka FTA, SAFTA or APTA so we issue the correct certificate of origin. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules.

Questions

APIs for Sri Lanka

Do you ship APIs to Sri Lanka?

Yes. We ship by sea to Colombo and Hambantota, 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 Sri Lanka?

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 NMRA (National Medicines Regulatory Authority) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Sri Lanka take?

Allow 3–6 days for ocean transit or 1–3 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.
