Dangerous goodsIMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Under the Industrial and Consumer Chemicals (Management and Control) Act, importers and their chemicals generally must be registered with the Government Chemist Laboratory Authority (GCLA), which issues an import permit for each consignment. APIs and finished medicines need TMDA registration and import permits. Some products also require a TBS Certificate of Conformity before shipment. Entries are lodged through the TANCIS customs system, so the invoice must match the permit details exactly. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules.

Questions

APIs for Tanzania

Do you ship APIs to Tanzania?
Yes. We ship by sea to Dar es Salaam and Tanga, 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 Tanzania?
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 TMDA (Tanzania Medicines and Medical Devices Authority) is agreed with you at quote stage.
How long does delivery to Tanzania take?
Allow 14–20 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.
