Supplying impurity reference standards to Switzerland

By sea, containers and LCL lots take roughly 22–30 days to Rotterdam (via Rhine barge/rail to Basel) and Genoa (via rail). Air cargo to Zurich (ZRH) takes 3–5 days, which suits small and urgent packs. The relevant authority is Swissmedic. Our export desk lines up the COA, GHS SDS and shipping documents to match. Common grades for this division are Impurity reference standard with characterisation data, Secondary / working standard, Stable-isotope labelled standard and Nitrosamine (NDSRI) standard.

Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

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

Impurity Reference Standards for Switzerland

Do you ship impurity standards 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 impurity standards 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.

How is the purity of an impurity standard determined?

Purity is usually assigned by HPLC area percentage, supported by structural confirmation from NMR and mass spectrometry. Where needed, water content, residual solvents or a mass balance approach are added. The methods used and the results for your lot are listed on the certificate of analysis that comes with the vial.

Can I use your impurity standards in place of official pharmacopoeial references?

Our standards are secondary or research materials, not official pharmacopoeial references. Many laboratories use them for method development, peak identification and routine testing, and keep official references for disputes or regulatory submissions where these are mandated. Your quality system and regulator decide which reference is acceptable for each test.
