Chemical compliance in United Kingdom

Authority	HSE (UK REACH & GB CLP)
Seaports	Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway
Airports	London Heathrow (LHR), East Midlands (EMA)
Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Great Britain operates UK REACH under HSE. Substances imported at 1 tonne or more per year need registration by a GB-based importer or a UK Only Representative, and labelling follows GB CLP. Northern Ireland still applies EU REACH. APIs for UK medicines must meet GMP and MHRA import requirements, including written confirmation for Indian-origin active substances. Dangerous goods travel under IMDG or IATA rules, and India–UK CETA preferences will depend on valid origin documents once the agreement is in force.

Questions

Inorganics & Metals for United Kingdom

Do you ship inorganics & metals to United Kingdom?

Yes. We ship by sea to Felixstowe and Southampton, 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 inorganics & metals shipment to United Kingdom?

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 HSE (UK REACH & GB CLP) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to United Kingdom 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.

What does 'trace metals basis' mean on an inorganic product?

It means the stated purity is calculated from the measured levels of metallic impurities, usually by ICP-MS or ICP-OES, rather than from a direct assay of the main component. Non-metallic impurities such as oxygen, carbon or moisture may not be included. Check the COA to see which elements were tested and their limits.

Can metals be cut or sized to my drawing?

Many foils, rods, plates and targets can be supplied in custom dimensions, thicknesses or diameters. Send a drawing or the key measurements with the tolerance you need. We will confirm feasibility, lead time and the purity available in that form before quoting, since some shapes are only made from certain grades.
