Albania is an EU candidate that is gradually aligning its chemicals rules with REACH and CLP. Importers should confirm current notification and labelling requirements with the environmental authorities and prepare Albanian-language labels or SDS where needed. Medicines and APIs are regulated by AKBPM, the National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices. Precursor chemicals need import authorisation. Durrës handles most container traffic, typically after a Mediterranean transhipment, and dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules.
