EuropeChemical Supplier & Exporter to Spain
Spain's largest chemical cluster sits in Tarragona, where refineries and petrochemical plants line the coast, while Huelva adds a second major complex in the south-west. Catalonia and the Madrid region host most of the country's pharmaceutical manufacturing, including many generic producers and contract manufacturers that purchase APIs, intermediates and impurity standards. Castellón's ceramics industry and a sizeable agrochemical and food-processing sector broaden demand for inorganic and specialty chemicals. We serve Spanish buyers from Gujarat and Mumbai, shipping to Valencia, Barcelona or Algeciras by sea and to Madrid or Barcelona by air.

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 Spanish. Active substances for medicinal products from India need GMP compliance and an EU written confirmation (Art. 46b Directive 2001/83/EC), with AEMPS 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 — Spain
How long is sea freight from India to Valencia or Barcelona?
Mediterranean Spanish ports are typically 15–21 days port-to-port from Nhava Sheva or Mundra, depending on vessel schedule, transhipment and Suez or Cape routing. Algeciras often acts as the transhipment point for smaller ports.
What does an AEMPS-regulated buyer need for API imports from India?
Besides the invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill and certificate of origin, APIs for medicinal use typically require an EU written confirmation under Article 46b of Directive 2001/83/EC. We also provide a Certificate of Analysis for each batch.
Are your SDS and Incoterm options suitable for Spanish chemical importers?
Every shipment includes a 16-section GHS-format SDS aligned with EU CLP, which the importer can issue in Spanish. We offer EXW, FOB, CIF, CFR and DAP Incoterms, generally quoted in EUR or USD, with REACH registration handled by the importer or an Only Representative.
Which Incoterms do you offer for shipments to Spain?
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.
