Dangerous goodsIMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Under the Law on Chemicals and its decrees, many industrial chemicals need an import chemical declaration through the National Single Window, and restricted or precursor chemicals may require an MOIT licence administered by the Vietnam Chemicals Agency. APIs and pharmaceutical raw materials are controlled by the Drug Administration of Vietnam and usually need registration or an import licence. Vietnamese-language SDS or labels may be requested. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules, and AITIGA preference requires a certificate of origin.

Do you ship APIs to Vietnam?

Which documents come with a APIs shipment to Vietnam?

How long does delivery to Vietnam take?
Allow 14–22 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.
