Package and route
Packing notes
Standard packing shown: 25 kg/bag, likely paper or woven bag with inner liner; buyer should confirm exact bag construction and palletization.
For food grade shipments, request food-contact packaging declaration and clean, sealed, batch-coded bags.
Confirm net weight, gross weight, pallet dimensions, container load quantity, and whether fumigation-free pallets are available for India or Africa shipments.
Ask whether private label, neutral bag, or buyer label is available and whether label language can match destination import requirements.
Request photos of actual bag marking, batch number format, production date, expiry/retest date, and outer carton or pallet wrapping if applicable.
Applications and sourcing options
Check whether this product fits the buyer's actual application.
Clear application, grade, package, and document notes help separate real sourcing demand from a vague price check.
Use context
Common applications
Food acidity regulator sourcing after destination food additive compliance check
Beverage and dry mix ingredient procurement requiring food grade COA
Industrial pH adjustment or chelating agent applications after technical grade qualification
Detergent builder or auxiliary ingredient sourcing where citrate salts may be required
Cosmetic raw material procurement where buyer confirms grade, impurities, and documentation
Distributor stock replenishment in 25 kg bags for citric acid monohydrate or anhydrous citric acid

Human review
Compliance notes
Verify exact CAS before purchase: citric acid monohydrate is CAS 5949-29-1; anhydrous citric acid is commonly CAS 77-92-9; sodium citrate and potassium citrate require separate CAS confirmation by hydrate form.
The source page mixes multiple products in one title, so COA, label, invoice, and SDS must match the selected item exactly.
Request current COA for the offered batch, SDS, TDS/specification sheet, food grade statement where applicable, allergen/GMO/BSE-TSE statements if required by buyer, and certificate of origin.
For food grade supply, ask which standard is met, such as FCC, USP, BP, EP, E330, GB, or customer specification, and request evidence rather than relying on marketplace text.
Confirm impurity limits relevant to the destination market, including heavy metals, lead, arsenic, mercury, oxalate, sulfate, chloride, moisture/water, ash/residue on ignition, readily carbonizable substances, and microbial limits where applicable.
Confirm whether the product is synthetic/fermentation derived and whether any country-specific registration, import permit, or food additive clearance is the buyer’s responsibility.
DG/export awareness: citric acid and citrate salts are often shipped as general chemical cargo, but buyer should require supplier SDS Section 14 and carrier confirmation for the exact product and package.
Do not rely on regulatory claims in the listing; destination compliance should be validated by buyer’s importer, customs broker, and local food/chemical authority.
