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

Specialty Chemicals for France

Do you ship specialty chemicals 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 specialty chemicals 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.

Can you supply industrial chemicals on a scheduled delivery plan?

Yes. For regular consumption we can agree a call-off schedule, for example monthly or quarterly shipments against an annual volume. This lets us plan production and reserve consistent lots. Share your forecast, pack type and destination port, and we will propose shipment intervals and Incoterms that fit your storage capacity.

Do you offer samples before a bulk order of a specialty chemical?

For most products we can send a representative sample so your team can test it in the actual process, such as a dyeing trial, a resin cure or a fragrance blend. Samples go by courier with an SDS. Once approved, the bulk lot is matched to the sample specification and the COA confirms it.
