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

Biochemicals for Tanzania

Do you ship biochemicals 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 biochemicals 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 GCLA (Government Chemist Laboratory 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.
How are cold-chain biochemicals packed for international transit?
Products that need refrigeration travel in insulated shippers with frozen gel packs, and frozen items go on dry ice with the matching UN 1845 declaration. We pick express or air routes with short transit times and book shipments early in the week so that parcels do not sit in a warehouse over a weekend.
Are your buffers checked for heavy metals and UV absorbance?
Many biological buffers are listed with heavy metal limits and UV absorbance at 260 and 280 nm, because these affect protein and nucleic acid assays. The exact parameters vary by product and grade. Check the specification on the product page or request a sample COA through the quote panel before ordering.
