Montenegro is an EU candidate and has adopted chemicals legislation modelled on REACH and CLP. Imports of hazardous chemicals are generally notified or registered with the national environmental authority by the local importer, who also prepares the Montenegrin-language SDS. Medicinal substances fall under CInMED, the Institute for Medicines and Medical Devices. Controlled precursors need import permits before shipment. Dangerous goods must be declared under IMDG or IATA rules, and the euro is used as the national currency.
