Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

The Environmental Management Agency (EMA) licenses imports of hazardous substances, and MCAZ registers medicines and issues import permits for APIs. Certain regulated product categories also need a Consignment Based Conformity Assessment (CBCA) certificate before shipment, so check the HS code early. Cargo usually arrives via Beira or Durban under transit documents. Transactions are commonly settled in US dollars. Dangerous goods follow IMDG rules at sea and regional road transport rules on the inland leg.

Questions

APIs for Zimbabwe

Can Zemixal deliver APIs to Zimbabwe?

Yes. We ship by sea to Beira (via road) 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 APIs shipment to Zimbabwe?

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 MCAZ (Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Zimbabwe take?

Allow 25–35 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 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.
