Supplying solvents (HPLC & GC) to Switzerland

Sea freight reaches Rotterdam (via Rhine barge/rail to Basel) and Genoa (via rail) in about 22–30 days port to port. Urgent or small lots fly to Zurich (ZRH) in 3–5 days. Import compliance for this category sits with FOPH / FOEN (Chemicals Ordinance, ChemO), and we prepare the COA, SDS and commercial documents your broker needs. Common grades for this division are HPLC / gradient grade, LC-MS grade, Spectroscopy (UV/IR) grade and GC / headspace grade.

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

Solvents (HPLC & GC) for Switzerland

Can Zemixal deliver solvents (HPLC & GC) 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 HPLC & GC solvents 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 FOPH / FOEN (Chemicals Ordinance, ChemO) 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.

Which solvent grade should I use for LC-MS rather than HPLC-UV?

LC-MS methods need solvents with very low metal ion and non-volatile residue content, because sodium and potassium adducts and background ions show up in the mass spectrum. HPLC-UV methods care mainly about UV cut-off and particle content. Choose LC-MS grade for mass detection and gradient HPLC grade for UV work to balance cost and performance.

How should opened bottles of HPLC solvent be stored?

Keep bottles tightly capped, away from light and at room temperature, and avoid topping up reservoirs with fresh solvent over old. Acetonitrile and methanol absorb moisture and pick up contaminants from the air, and tetrahydrofuran can form peroxides once its stabiliser is used up. Date each bottle on opening and follow your lab's in-use period.
