Cyprus applies EU REACH and CLP. A substance imported at 1 tonne or more per year needs registration by the EU importer or by an Only Representative acting for the Indian manufacturer, and SDS and labels must be in Greek. Active substances for medicines need GMP compliance and an EU written confirmation, with the Cyprus Pharmaceutical Services supervising authorised importers. Dangerous goods are packed and declared under IMDG or IATA DGR, and customs needs the importer's EORI number.
