Supplying specialty chemicals to Lithuania
By sea, containers and LCL lots take roughly 30–40 days to Klaipėda and Gdańsk (Poland, alternative gateway). Air cargo to Vilnius (VNO) takes 4–6 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, Food grade (FCC / IP), Feed grade and Cosmetic grade.

Chemical compliance in Lithuania

| Seaports | Klaipėda, Gdańsk (Poland, alternative gateway) |

| Dangerous goods | IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air |
Lithuania applies EU REACH and CLP, so the EU importer or an Only Representative registers any substance imported at 1 tonne or more per year. SDS and labels must be in Lithuanian. APIs need an EU written confirmation or equivalent GMP standing and an importer authorised by the State Medicines Control Agency (VVKT). Klaipėda is served mainly by feeder vessels, and cargo can also be trucked from Gdańsk. Customs needs the importer's EORI number, and dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA.
