North Macedonia is an EU candidate, and its chemicals legislation largely follows REACH and CLP principles. Notification or registration is handled by the local importer, who also prepares the SDS in Macedonian. APIs and medicinal products are regulated by MALMED, which expects GMP evidence or a manufacturer authorisation. Precursor chemicals require import licences. Almost all sea cargo is discharged at Thessaloniki and moved north by road or rail, and dangerous goods must be declared under IMDG or IATA.
