Cross-border Deals & Partnershipsby Pratik Bajoria

Sectors · Specialty Chemicals

Specialty chemicals, with the paperwork.

Intermediates, additives, dyes, pigments and performance chemicals: buyers need consistent batches and complete regulatory documentation for their market, from suppliers who can show both.

Buyers and partnersNeeds · Help

What buyers usually need, and where I help.

What buyers usually need

  • Specifications and a certificate of analysis for each batch
  • Safety data sheets and correct labelling
  • Regulatory documentation for the destination market (for example REACH in the EU or TSCA in the US)
  • Batch-to-batch consistency and change notification
  • Packaging and dangerous-goods handling suited to the product

What I help with

  • Introducing manufacturers with the registrations and documents your market requires
  • Asking for COAs, SDS and samples at the start
  • Checking capacity, quality systems and export history
  • Matching volumes and packaging needs
  • Introducing both sides under a short agreement (regulatory advice stays with your specialists)

A few lines is enough to start.

Tell me what you need or what you can supply. I reply personally, and nothing is shared with anyone else until you are comfortable and an agreement is in place.
