What do you need your safety data sheet translated for?

  • Imports and customs

    Chemical substances and hazardous products entering Panama need their SDS in Spanish for customs clearance and registration.

  • Workplace safety

    Occupational safety compliance calls for the sheets to be available in Spanish for the staff who handle the products.

  • Distribution and sales

    Distributors and large clients ask for the translated SDS as part of the documentation that comes with each product.

How much does it cost?

A safety data sheet is priced by word: $20 covers the first 250-word page and each additional word adds $0.08, with no rounding up to full pages. Panama's 7% ITBMS tax is added on top. A complete 16-section SDS usually lands between $35 and $135, depending on its length; a 1,000-word sheet, for example, comes to $85.60 with tax. Product catalogs qualify for our business rate, with monthly invoicing.

Standard delivery takes up to 3 business days. Express delivers in 1 business day (+50%), and Same-day (+100%) applies only when you pay before 11:00 a.m. and a translator is available.

Do you need an apostille before or after the translation?

A safety data sheet is technical documentation from the manufacturer, so it normally does not need an apostille. When customs or another authority asks for it in Spanish, the certified translation by a TPA registered with MIRE, under Executive Decree 975 of 2017, is usually enough. If your process calls for an extra step, we tell you in your quote. Lingo does not apostille documents; the issuing authority or your lawyer handles that.
