  • Destination-market import documents before supplier matching
Package and route

Packing notes

  • Standard packing listed: 25 kg per bag
  • Bulk bag options listed: 500 kg and 1000 kg per bag

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 and beverage acidity regulator sourcing, subject to local food compliance approval
  • Ingredient distribution where BP/USP or food grade documentation is required by downstream customers
  • Industrial acidulant procurement for buyers seeking consistent crystalline citric acid monohydrate
  • Detergent, cleaning, cosmetic, and general chemical applications where citric acid monohydrate specification alignment is needed
  • India import RFQ comparison for Chinese citric acid monohydrate suppliers
How we compare

Sourcing options

  • Request 25 kg bag quotation for distributor resale or trial import
  • Request 500 kg or 1000 kg jumbo bag quotation for bulk industrial users
  • Ask for FOB Qingdao or other China port pricing with separate sea freight option to India
  • Ask for CIF/CFR pricing to Nhava Sheva, Mundra, Chennai, Kolkata, or buyer-nominated Indian port
  • Request sample only with COA and batch traceability; avoid approving solely on price
  • Arrange third-party inspection for high-volume or food-grade shipments
Human review

Compliance notes

  • Verify CAS 5949-29-1 matches citric acid monohydrate on COA, SDS, commercial invoice, and import documentation
  • Source page lists EINECS 200-662-2, which is commonly associated with citric acid anhydrous; buyer should clarify EC/EINECS reference for monohydrate to avoid document mismatch
  • BP/USP and food grade claims should be supported by current COA, TDS, SDS, allergen/GMO statements if required, and applicable food additive documentation
  • For India import, buyer should check FSSAI, BIS if applicable, customs HS classification, labeling, and port documentation requirements with their compliance team or broker
  • Citric acid monohydrate is typically not treated as dangerous goods for standard transport, but buyers should confirm DG status using the latest SDS and carrier rules
  • Request recent batch COA showing assay, moisture, sulfate, heavy metals, aluminium, oxalic acid, endotoxin if required, and microbiological parameters if intended for food or pharma-adjacent use
  • Do not rely only on marketplace grade labels; confirm manufacturer name, plant origin, batch traceability, and third-party inspection option before contracting
  • Export history to India is claimed on the source page; request shipment references or export document examples where commercially appropriate, without assuming approval
