Seaports	Rotterdam (via Rhine barge/rail to Basel), Genoa (via rail), Hamburg (via rail)
Airports	Zurich (ZRH), Basel (BSL)
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

Pharmaceutical Intermediates for Switzerland

Do you ship pharma intermediates 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 pharma intermediates 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.

Can you scale an intermediate from grams to kilograms without changing the route?

For many listed intermediates the gram packs and the kilogram supply come from the same manufacturing route, which keeps the impurity profile consistent. Where scale-up needs a different route, we tell you before you commit and can provide comparison samples so your team can check the new material against the old.

How do you control isomer and enantiomer content?

Positional isomers are controlled by HPLC or GC methods suited to the compound, and chiral intermediates are tested by chiral HPLC to report enantiomeric excess. The limits that apply to your lot appear on the COA. If your process needs tighter limits, state them on the enquiry and we will confirm what can be met.
