Finland applies EU REACH and CLP. When a substance enters the EU at 1 tonne or more per year, the EU importer or an Only Representative for the Indian manufacturer must hold the registration. SDS and labels are expected in Finnish and Swedish. Active substances for medicinal use need GMP compliance and an EU written confirmation, and Fimea supervises authorised importers. Hazardous materials must be packed and declared to IMDG or IATA DGR, and customs entry needs the importer's EORI number.
