EuropeChemical Supplier & Exporter to Romania
Romania's chemical base is spread across several regions: refining around Ploiești and the Petromidia site near Constanța, chlor-alkali and oxo-alcohols at Râmnicu Vâlcea and Borzești, and nitrogen fertilisers at Târgu Mureș. Pharmaceuticals are equally dispersed, from Antibiotice in Iași to Terapia in Cluj-Napoca and Zentiva's Bucharest site, alongside a growing automotive cluster. We supply APIs, intermediates, pharmacopoeial impurities, reagents and process solvents, with Constanța as the natural sea gateway from our Gujarat/Mumbai dispatch.

Romania applies EU REACH and CLP, with registration by the EU importer or an Only Representative for substances at 1 t/yr or more and Romanian-language SDS and labels. API imports need an EU Written Confirmation or equivalent GMP standing and an importer authorised by ANMDMR. Constanța is the largest Black Sea container port and is served by Asia services via Suez, often with a transhipment in the eastern Mediterranean.

Frequently asked questions — Romania
What is the typical sea transit from India to Constanța?
Port-to-port time from Nhava Sheva or Mundra is typically 24–32 days via Suez, usually with a transhipment at Piraeus or another Mediterranean hub, depending on vessel schedule. Air freight to Bucharest normally takes 4–6 days.
Do Romanian formulators receive full QC documentation?
Yes. Every consignment includes a COA and a 16-section GHS-format SDS. For APIs, the importer will generally also need an EU Written Confirmation or equivalent GMP evidence, and a Romanian-language SDS is prepared by the EU importer under REACH.
What Incoterms and payment terms are common for Romania?
We offer EXW, FOB, CIF, CFR and DAP Incoterms, with CIF Constanța the most common for drum and pallet cargo. Pricing is typically in EUR or USD rather than RON.
Which Incoterms do you offer for shipments to Romania?
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.
