EuropeChemical Supplier & Exporter to Ireland
Ireland's chemical imports are driven by one of the world's densest concentrations of pharmaceutical manufacturing. The Cork harbour area, particularly Ringaskiddy and Little Island, hosts numerous API and small-molecule plants, while Dublin, Limerick–Shannon and Galway add biologics, medical-device and contract manufacturing sites. These facilities buy pharma intermediates, impurity reference standards, solvents and analytical reagents against tight specifications and audit trails. We serve Irish buyers from Gujarat and Mumbai, with sea freight usually transhipped via continental Europe or the UK into Dublin or Cork, and urgent standards flown into Dublin, always with EU-compliant quality documents.

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 English. Active substances for medicinal products from India need GMP compliance and an EU written confirmation (Art. 46b Directive 2001/83/EC), with the HPRA 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 — Ireland
How long does sea freight from India to Cork or Dublin take?
Ireland is normally served by feeder after transhipment at Rotterdam, Antwerp or a UK hub, so port-to-port times from Nhava Sheva or Mundra are typically 26–35 days, depending on vessel schedule and transhipment.
Do you provide documentation suitable for Irish API and intermediate plants?
We supply a Certificate of Analysis and a 16-section GHS-format Safety Data Sheet with every shipment. For APIs used in medicines, an EU written confirmation under Article 46b of Directive 2001/83/EC is typically required, and the Irish importer's quality team will review supplier information under HPRA oversight.
What Incoterms and currencies are common for Irish orders?
We offer EXW, FOB, CIF, CFR and DAP Incoterms. Many Irish plants prefer DAP or CIF Cork to keep control of the final leg, and invoicing is usually in EUR or USD, with hazardous solvents shipped under IMDG or IATA declarations.
Which Incoterms do you offer for shipments to Ireland?
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.
