Romania applies EU REACH and CLP. Substances imported at 1 tonne or more per year need registration by the EU importer or an Only Representative, and SDS and labels must be in Romanian. API imports require an EU written confirmation or equivalent GMP standing and an importer authorised by ANMDMR. Constanța is reached on Asia services via Suez, often with a transhipment in the eastern Mediterranean. Customs needs the importer's EORI number, and dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules.
