Spain applies EU REACH and CLP. When a substance is imported at 1 tonne or more per year, it needs registration by the EU importer or by an Only Representative acting for the Indian manufacturer. SDS and labels must be in Spanish. Active substances for medicinal products need GMP compliance and an EU written confirmation, and AEMPS supervises authorised importers. Dangerous goods are packed and declared under IMDG or IATA DGR, and customs clearance requires the importer's EORI number.
