In recent years, Romania has gained growing importance in the Central and Eastern European chemical procurement landscape. As one of the faster-growing economies within the European Union, its industrial chains covering automotive parts, construction materials, packaging, agriculture and food processing keep expanding. However, local chemical supplies cannot fully meet such demands, making imports a regular practice. China serves as a key link in this supply chain. Nevertheless, only scattered impressions are available in public discussions regarding the actual volume and categories of Chinese chemical products exported to Romania. As a service provider for Sino-Romania chemical supply chains, we have carried out research on chemicals under our business scope and sorted out relevant China Customs data from January to September 2026, as shown in the table below.
Export volume is measured in kilograms. Export value refers to the total export amount (in Renminbi Yuan) for each product variety. Unit price is calculated as Export Value ÷ Export Volume. Products are sorted in descending order of export volume.
1. Looking across the report at the 31 chemical products, China's total export volume to Romania reached 15,327,050 kg 126,648,140 RMB. Among these, 21 products exceeded 10 tons, 17 exceeded 50 tons, 15 exceeded 100 tons, 7 exceeded 500 tons, and 3 exceeded 1,000 tons.
The fact that 21 products exceeded 10 tons indicates that procurement for these chemicals relies heavily on the Chinese market. It shows that procurement costs in China are relatively low, and Chinese pricing advantages are highly evident. These products include 1,6-Hexanediol, Melamine, Citric acid, Polypropylene, Propylene glycol, Calcium chloride, Polyethylene, Titanium dioxide, Ammonium chloride, Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), Lactic acid, Glycine, Potassium nitrate, Phenolic resin, Methyl ethyl ketone, Ethyl acetate, Phosphoric acid, Acetone, Monoethanolamine, Formic acid and Transformer oil.
- Romania's agriculture and food industry rank among the largest in the European Union; this sector requires citric acid, lactic acid, maltodextrin and glycine.
- This sector is directly linked to Romania's automotive parts, construction materials and packaging industries, requiring polypropylene, polyethylene, melamine, phenolic resin, methyl methacrylate and titanium dioxide.
- Agriculture is a pillar industry of Romania, requiring phosphoric acid, ammonium chloride, polyacrylamide and monoethanolamine.
- These industries require 1,6-hexanediol, caustic soda, propylene glycol, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate and transformer oil.
2. In terms of the overall report, China's total export volume to Romania is 15,327,050 kg13,045,966,651 kg. Romania's share accounts for only 0.117% of China's global exports. This demonstrates that China has ample production capacity and can sustainably supply the Romanian market.
A: You can absolutely find reliable manufacturers through us. We are Shanghai Dingwujin Chemical Co., Ltd., a China-Romania chemical trade service provider located in Shanghai, China. We possess a much deeper understanding of the pricing and quality within the Chinese chemical market than general buyers. We can provide direct procurement from source factories, chemical bidding, OEM, quality control, as well as COA and SDS services to guarantee long-term stable supply and quality.
A: Sea freight can reach the Black Sea port of Constanta directly, taking 30-45 days in total. By land, the China-Europe freight train reaches Bucharest via Malaszewicze, Poland and transit through Hungary, taking about 18-30 days in total, which offers shorter and more stable transit and is the preferred option for medium-sized batches and high-value cargo. Booking, customs clearance and door-to-door delivery are all arranged by us in one package.
A: We have independently registered a company in Poland to provide REACH/OR services for trade from China to Romania. By empowering factories with REACH capabilities, we help Chinese factories that meet the tonnage threshold become compliant REACH/OR suppliers.
