Chemical compliance in Sri Lanka

Authority	Central Environmental Authority / NDDCB (precursors)
Seaports	Colombo, Hambantota
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

Specialty Chemicals for Sri Lanka

Can Zemixal deliver specialty chemicals 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 specialty chemicals 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 Central Environmental Authority / NDDCB (precursors) is agreed with you at quote stage.

Can you supply industrial chemicals on a scheduled delivery plan?

Yes. For regular consumption we can agree a call-off schedule, for example monthly or quarterly shipments against an annual volume. This lets us plan production and reserve consistent lots. Share your forecast, pack type and destination port, and we will propose shipment intervals and Incoterms that fit your storage capacity.

Do you offer samples before a bulk order of a specialty chemical?

For most products we can send a representative sample so your team can test it in the actual process, such as a dyeing trial, a resin cure or a fragrance blend. Samples go by courier with an SDS. Once approved, the bulk lot is matched to the sample specification and the COA confirms it.
