Specialty Chemicals supply to Turkmenistan
The specialty chemicals division counts 876 products, and each one can be quoted for delivery to Turkmenistan. In Turkmenistan the strongest demand is from natural gas & gas chemicals, oil refining and fertilisers (urea, ammonia). Regular consignments go to industrial centres such as Ashgabat, Turkmenbashi and Mary. Typical customers for this division are water treatment companies, paint and coatings manufacturers and textile processors.
Supplying specialty chemicals to Turkmenistan
By sea, containers and LCL lots take roughly 40–55 days to Turkmenbashi (Caspian) and Poti, Georgia (via Caspian ferry). Air cargo to Ashgabat (ASB) takes 4–7 days, which suits small and urgent packs. The relevant authority is Ministry of Environmental Protection / State Customs Service. Our export desk lines up the COA, GHS SDS and shipping documents to match. Common grades for this division are Technical / industrial, Food grade (FCC / IP), Feed grade and Cosmetic grade.

Imports into Turkmenistan are closely managed. Contracts are often registered with the State Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange before goods can move, and hazardous chemicals may need permits from the relevant ministries. Pharmaceutical substances fall under the Ministry of Health and Medical Industry. Sea cargo usually reaches Turkmenbashi via Georgian ports and a trans-Caspian ferry, so transit documents are part of the file. Hard-currency payment arrangements should be confirmed in advance, and dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA.
