Research Incomplete

Research coverage for this vendor is 83%. Our research on Chem-Impex International remains incomplete — what we have verified so far is published below, and research is continuing.

Still to research:

  • Registration jurisdiction researched (state_of_registration)
  • Entity status researched (entity_status)
  • Public summary reviewed

Overview#

Established Illinois chemical distributor (Wood Dale; HQ plus a manufacturing facility on the same street) and a genuine peptide-industry supplier — but of peptide-production INPUTS, not finished peptides: Fmoc/Boc amino acids, pseudoproline dipeptides, resins, coupling reagents and solvents for SPPS, sold with catalog purity specs and lot-numbered documents, alongside ~30,000 general research chemicals and a general custom-synthesis service. It does not sell finished/catalog peptides. Commercial transparency is strong (detailed published Terms covering payment, FCA delivery, a restrictive 5-business-day returns regime, and an express no-reliance disclaimer on manufacturer-supplied CoAs). Corporate registry details (registration state, status, formation date, agent, principals) were not verified in this pass. All defined regulatory searches returned No Record Found.

Regulatory and Legal History#

Testing and COA Evidence#

Public COA AvailabilityLot-specific product documents (Certificates of Origin / BSE-TSE certificates showing catalog and lot numbers) are publicly hosted on the storefront. Per Terms §8, CoAs "where available" are provided on request or via the website, are based on data supplied by the original manufacturer, and are expressly provided for information only with no representation as to accuracy or completeness.
Batch / Lot SpecificityLot numbers are assigned and printed on product documentation (e.g., "Lot #:" field on the publicly hosted Certificate of Origin for catalog 02288).
Independent Laboratory IdentityNo independent laboratory is named. Chem-Impex states in its Terms (§7) that it is a distributor and not the original manufacturer unless expressly stated, and that its facilities are not FDA-regulated for manufacturing human or animal drugs, biologics, or devices.
COA Verification StatusNo COA verification portal; the vendor expressly disclaims reliance on CoA documentation ("you may not rely on any CoA or quality documentation as a guarantee of fitness") and places verification responsibility on the buyer.
Test RecencyNot independently verified
UnknownSource: Chem-Impex homepage
Testing CoverageCatalog-level purity specifications per product (e.g., Fmoc amino acids at ≥99% by chiral HPLC or TLC; pseudoproline dipeptides for SPPS). Testing is performed by the original manufacturers, not by Chem-Impex in-house, per the vendor's distributor characterization.
ModerateSource: Chem-Impex homepage
Evidence ConsistencyEntity name, addresses, and contact channels are consistent across the vendor's legal documents, storefront, and third-party directories. Founding-year claims in third-party directories (1981) are uncorroborated by any registry record. The vendor is unusually explicit that it is a distributor rather than a manufacturer.

Payment, Refund and Shipping#

Accepted Payment MethodsPayment in advance of shipment unless the vendor has approved net-30 credit terms in writing (Terms §2); the Terms do not enumerate specific payment instruments (cards, ACH, wire).
Refund / Return PolicyChange-of-mind returns require prior written approval requested within 5 business days of receipt; returns are barred for diagnostic reagents, refrigerated/frozen items, custom products, bulk items, special orders, compendial chemicals, controlled substances, and orders under $30; returns ship at buyer expense/risk in original packaging. Wrong/damaged/missing items must be reported in writing within 5 business days. Cancellations of in-process orders require written approval and carry a fee of at least 35% of order value.
Shipping & Fulfillment RepresentationsAll sales FCA (Incoterms 2020) from the vendor's shipping point; title and risk of loss transfer when products are delivered to the carrier; shipping dates are estimates only and not guaranteed; partial shipments permitted and invoiced separately.
Terms / Policy StabilityTerms state the vendor may modify them at any time, effective immediately upon posting. Current version is dated "Last Updated: April 13, 2026"; an earlier French-language terms page shows "last edited August 2025", evidencing at least one revision cycle in the past year.
