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

Pharmaceutical Intermediates for Zambia

Can Zemixal deliver pharmaceutical intermediates 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 pharma intermediates 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 ZAMRA (Zambia Medicines Regulatory Authority) 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.

Can you scale an intermediate from grams to kilograms without changing the route?

For many listed intermediates the gram packs and the kilogram supply come from the same manufacturing route, which keeps the impurity profile consistent. Where scale-up needs a different route, we tell you before you commit and can provide comparison samples so your team can check the new material against the old.

How do you control isomer and enantiomer content?

Positional isomers are controlled by HPLC or GC methods suited to the compound, and chiral intermediates are tested by chiral HPLC to report enantiomeric excess. The limits that apply to your lot appear on the COA. If your process needs tighter limits, state them on the enquiry and we will confirm what can be met.
