Package and route
Packing notes
Reported packing options: 25 kg plastic barrel, 35 kg plastic barrel, 250 kg plastic barrel and 1200 kg IBC
Confirm drum or IBC material compatibility, closure type, palletization and container loading plan
Request net weight, gross weight, dimensions and photos of export packing before order confirmation
Confirm whether packaging markings, hazard labels and language requirements can match destination regulations
Ask whether port stock is available at Tianjin, Shanghai or Qingdao and whether same-batch shipment is possible
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
Industrial formulation where formic acid concentration and impurity limits are specified by the buyer
Leather and textile processing supply programs requiring stable acid concentration
Feed-related procurement requiring FAMI-QS or equivalent documentation review
Agriculture-grade sourcing where assay, packing and import clearance documents must be confirmed
Distributor stock purchase in drums or IBCs with DG export paperwork
How we compare
Sourcing options
Compare 85% and 94% concentration offers for freight efficiency, DG classification and destination restrictions
Request both drum and IBC pricing if warehouse handling capacity allows
Ask for FOB China port and CIF destination quotes to compare DG freight exposure
Use pre-shipment inspection or third-party sampling for first orders
Shortlist suppliers able to provide batch COA, SDS, DG documents and certificate scope matching the intended grade
Human review
Compliance notes
Formic acid is a dangerous goods chemical; confirm SDS, COA, DG declaration and transport classification before booking
Verify whether UN 1779 or UN 3412 applies to the requested concentration and shipping route
For feed, food or regulated downstream use, confirm certificate scope, grade standard, additive registration status and destination-market documentation needs
REACH, FAMI-QS, K-REACH or KKDIK references should be checked against the exact legal entity, product grade, tonnage band and validity period
Do not rely on marketplace text as a regulatory guarantee; request signed documents from the supplier for the exact product and batch
Confirm export eligibility, customs HS code, labeling, country-specific import controls and restricted end-use screening through qualified compliance channels
