Switzerland sits outside EU REACH. Chemicals are regulated under the Chemicals Ordinance (ChemO), and the joint Notification Authority for Chemicals, run by FOPH, FOEN and SECO, handles notifications and the Swiss product register. APIs are imported by Swissmedic-licensed companies, which must verify the GMP status of their suppliers. Indian-origin goods that qualify can claim India–EFTA TEPA preferences with a valid proof of origin. Dangerous goods travel under IMDG, ADR/RID or IATA rules depending on the transport leg.

Questions

APIs for Switzerland

Can Zemixal deliver APIs to Switzerland?

Yes. We ship by sea to Rotterdam (via Rhine barge/rail to Basel) and Genoa (via rail), 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 Switzerland?

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 Swissmedic is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Switzerland take?

Allow 22–30 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.
