How Research Peptides Are Shipped: Cold-Chain Logistics & Global Delivery

Packaging, temperature control, documentation and customs for reliable worldwide peptide delivery.

Published October 30, 2026 · PepNova technical team

Why peptides need careful shipping

Lyophilized peptides are stable when dry and cold, but exposure to heat, light and moisture during transit can degrade them. Proper packaging protects both the compound and your实验结果.

Packaging we use

  • Desiccant sachets to control humidity
  • Insulated mailers; ice packs or cold packs for warm-region or express routes
  • Discreet, compliant outer packaging with clear labeling
  • Double-sealed vials to prevent leakage

Documents for customs

Each B2B shipment is accompanied by COA, MSDS and a commercial invoice describing the goods as research/animal-use peptides. Accurate paperwork is the single biggest factor in smooth clearance.

Customs & import

Import rules for research peptides vary by country and the buyer is responsible for lawful import. We cooperate with declared values and correct HS context to minimize delays, but cannot guarantee clearance where local law prohibits the item.

Lead times by region

  • Asia-Pacific: 2–5 business days (express)
  • Europe: 3–7 business days
  • North America: 4–8 business days
  • Other regions: quoted per destination

On arrival

Upon receipt, store lyophilized peptides at −20°C and keep dry. See our storage guide for reconstitution tips.
