Slovakia follows EU REACH and CLP. The importer or an Only Representative registers substances imported at 1 tonne or more per year and provides SDS and labels in Slovak. APIs need an EU written confirmation or equivalent GMP standing and an importer authorised by ŠÚKL. Sea cargo arrives via Hamburg or Koper and moves inland by rail, sometimes under a T1 transit document, and much air cargo lands in Vienna before trucking to Bratislava. Dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules.
