EuropeChemical Supplier & Exporter to Greece
Greece's chemical market centres on Attica and Thessaloniki. A long-established domestic pharmaceutical industry, largely generics, operates plants in Attica and the Oinofyta–Viotia industrial zone, buying APIs, intermediates and impurity standards. Refineries near Athens and Thessaloniki, aluminium production at Agios Nikolaos, and a large agrochemical, olive-oil and food-processing sector extend demand to solvents, inorganic chemicals and industrial additives. Piraeus has become one of the Mediterranean's busiest container ports, which keeps sea transit from India comparatively short. We supply Greek buyers from Gujarat and Mumbai by sea to Piraeus or Thessaloniki, and by air into Athens.

Substances imported into the EU at 1 tonne or more per year must be registered with ECHA under REACH by the EU importer or the non-EU manufacturer's Only Representative, and labels and SDS must follow CLP in Greek. Active substances for medicinal products from India need GMP compliance and an EU written confirmation (Art. 46b Directive 2001/83/EC), with EOF supervising authorised importers. Hazardous goods must be packed and declared under IMDG or IATA DGR, and customs clearance requires the importer's EORI number.

Frequently asked questions — Greece
How long does sea freight from India to Piraeus take?
Piraeus is a major transhipment hub on Asia–Europe routes, so containers from Nhava Sheva or Mundra typically arrive in 14–20 days port-to-port, depending on vessel schedule, transhipment and Suez routing. Thessaloniki usually adds a few days by feeder.
Is your SDS suitable for Greek importers under REACH and CLP?
We supply a Certificate of Analysis and a 16-section GHS-format SDS aligned with EU CLP with every shipment. A Greek-language SDS is expected locally and can be produced by the importer from our data. REACH registration above 1 tonne per year sits with the importer or an Only Representative.
What do EOF-supervised API buyers need, and which Incoterms are available?
APIs for medicinal use typically need an EU written confirmation under Article 46b, in addition to invoice, packing list, transport document and certificate of origin. We offer EXW, FOB, CIF, CFR and DAP Incoterms, usually priced in EUR or USD.
Which Incoterms do you offer for shipments to Greece?
We quote EXW, FCA, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT, CIP and DAP depending on the product, mode and destination. DDP can be arranged case-by-case where local import rules allow.
What payment terms are available?
Standard terms are advance payment by telegraphic transfer (T/T). Letters of credit and other terms can be agreed for repeat or larger orders after due diligence.
