Chemical compliance in Zambia

Authority	ZEMA (Zambia Environmental Management Agency)
Seaports	Dar es Salaam (via road/TAZARA rail), Durban (via road), Walvis Bay (via road)
Airports	Lusaka Kenneth Kaunda (LUN), Ndola Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe (NLA)
Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

ZEMA licenses imports of hazardous substances and pesticides, so the importer should hold the licence before cargo leaves India. ZAMRA issues import permits for APIs and medicines. Sea freight reaches Zambia through Dar es Salaam, Durban, Walvis Bay or Beira under transit bonds, and the transit documents must match the bill of lading and invoice. Mining reagents such as cyanide or strong acids may need additional permits, and they require careful dangerous goods handling on the road leg as well as at sea under IMDG rules.

Questions

Inorganics & Metals for Zambia

Can Zemixal deliver inorganics & metals to Zambia?

Yes. We ship by sea to Dar es Salaam (via road/TAZARA rail) and Durban (via road), 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 Zambia?

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 ZEMA (Zambia Environmental Management Agency) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Zambia take?

Allow 30–40 days for ocean transit or 4–6 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.
