Chemical substances imported into the US must comply with the Toxic Substances Control Act. The importer files a TSCA positive or negative certification at entry, and substances must be listed on the TSCA Inventory or be exempt. APIs for human drugs are FDA-regulated, typically supported by a Drug Master File and cGMP manufacturing, and face FDA entry review. List I and List II chemicals need DEA import registration and declarations. Ocean shipments require an ISF 10+2 filing with CBP before loading.

Questions

APIs for United States

Do you ship APIs to United States?
Yes. We ship by sea to New York / New Jersey and Houston, 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 United States?
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 FDA (CDER) is agreed with you at quote stage.
How long does delivery to United States take?
Allow 28–40 days for ocean transit or 3–6 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.
