Moldova, an EU candidate, has a chemicals law modelled on EU CLP principles, and importers are expected to hold compliant SDS and labelling in Romanian. Medicines and APIs need authorisation from AMDM, the Medicines and Medical Devices Agency. Narcotic and precursor substances require separate permits held by the buyer. Most sea cargo arrives via Constanța or the Giurgiulești Danube terminal with road haulage onward, and dangerous goods must be declared under IMDG or IATA.
