Supplying inorganics & metals to France

By sea, containers and LCL lots take roughly 18–27 days to Le Havre and Marseille-Fos. Air cargo to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) takes 3–5 days, which suits small and urgent packs. The relevant authority is ECHA (EU REACH & CLP). Our export desk lines up the COA, GHS SDS and shipping documents to match. Common grades for this division are Technical / industrial, AR / ACS, 99.9% (3N) and 99.99% (4N) and higher.

Chemical compliance in France

Authority	ECHA (EU REACH & CLP)
Seaports	Le Havre, Marseille-Fos, Dunkirk
Airports	Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Lyon (LYS)
Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

France applies EU REACH and CLP, so any substance imported at 1 tonne or more per year needs registration by the EU importer or by an Only Representative for the Indian manufacturer. SDS and labels must be in French. Active substances destined for medicines need GMP compliance and an EU written confirmation, and ANSM supervises authorised importers. Dangerous goods are packed and declared under IMDG or IATA DGR, and customs clearance requires the importer's EORI number.

Questions

Inorganics & Metals for France

Do you ship inorganics & metals to France?

Yes. We ship by sea to Le Havre and Marseille-Fos, by air cargo or by express courier depending on quantity and urgency. Every lot carries a COA and a 16-section GHS SDS.

Which documents come with a inorganics & metals shipment to France?

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of analysis and SDS as standard, plus the bill of lading or air waybill and a certificate of origin. Anything specific to ECHA (EU REACH & CLP) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to France take?

Allow 18–27 days for ocean transit or 3–5 days by air, plus packing, export clearance and import clearance. The timeline on this page shows each stage.

What does 'trace metals basis' mean on an inorganic product?

It means the stated purity is calculated from the measured levels of metallic impurities, usually by ICP-MS or ICP-OES, rather than from a direct assay of the main component. Non-metallic impurities such as oxygen, carbon or moisture may not be included. Check the COA to see which elements were tested and their limits.

Can metals be cut or sized to my drawing?

Many foils, rods, plates and targets can be supplied in custom dimensions, thicknesses or diameters. Send a drawing or the key measurements with the tolerance you need. We will confirm feasibility, lead time and the purity available in that form before quoting, since some shapes are only made from certain grades.
