Package and route
Packing notes
Raw title states 25kg kraft bag; page details also mention 25kg fiber drum and 1kg aluminum foil bag, creating a packing inconsistency to clarify before order.
Confirm whether export packing is kraft bag, fiber drum, aluminum foil bag, or customized private-label format.
Request palletization details, net/gross weight, dimensions, and container loading quantity for sea freight planning.
For cosmetic ingredient imports, ask whether each package can show product name, CAS, batch number, net weight, manufacture date, expiry/retest date, and country of origin.
MOQ shown as 100 kg; verify whether sample, trial order, and mixed-pallet options are available.
Applications and sourcing options

Human review
Compliance notes
Request current COA, SDS/MSDS, TDS/specification sheet, allergen statement if applicable, heavy metals statement, microbiological limits statement, and GMP or quality-system documentation where relevant.
The listing claims heavy metal and microbe compliance; buyers should request numeric limits and batch-specific test results rather than relying on general statements.
Confirm INCI name, cosmetic-grade suitability, and destination-market documentation requirements with the importer or regulatory consultant.
Verify DG/non-DG transport status using the supplier SDS and freight forwarder review; do not assume classification from marketplace text.
Check export documentation readiness: commercial invoice, packing list, COA, SDS, certificate of origin if required, and any destination-specific declarations.
Supplier claims complete international export documentation support, but this should be validated during RFQ with sample documents or document templates.
No regulatory approval, import clearance, or cosmetic compliance guarantee should be assumed from the listing.
Confirm whether product is single-substance cetyl alcohol or a blend, wax fraction, synthetic ester mixture, or fatty alcohol cut, as page wording contains unrelated category text.
