Package and route
Packing notes
Stated transport package: 200L barrel
Confirm net weight per drum, drum material, closure type, palletization, and container loading plan
Request photos of original packing, labels, batch marks, and export carton/drum markings
Confirm whether supplier can offer sample packing, IBC packing, or full-container quantities if required
Check shelf life, retest date, and storage condition wording on COA/SDS without relying on marketplace text
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 raw material sourcing where Formic Acid CAS 64-18-6 and concentration are specified
Textile, leather, rubber, and general industrial applications subject to buyer validation
Fine chemical supply programs requiring documented assay and impurity limits
China-to-India import RFQs requiring DG-aware export documentation and port planning
How we compare
Sourcing options
Request 95%, 98%, and 99% concentration quotations separately with COA examples
Compare industrial grade versus higher-purity grade based on impurity limits, not only assay
Ask for 200L drum quotation and alternative IBC or FCL options where available
Use third-party inspection or pre-shipment sample testing for first order qualification
Obtain FOB China port and CIF India port pricing to compare freight and DG handling costs
Human review
Compliance notes
Verify CAS 64-18-6, concentration, grade, and impurity limits against buyer specification before purchase
Request current COA, SDS in GHS format, TDS/spec sheet, packing list template, commercial invoice template, and certificate of origin if needed
Formic acid is typically treated as a hazardous/corrosive chemical for transport; confirm UN number, hazard class, packing group, marine pollutant status if applicable, and DG documentation with the freight forwarder
For China to India sourcing, confirm Indian import documentation, customs classification, port acceptance, and consignee licensing requirements with a qualified broker
Do not rely on certification claims such as CCIC, CIQ, RoHS, or ISO without copies showing scope, validity, and issuing body
Confirm whether the product is industrial grade, electronic grade, pharmaceutical-related grade, or another grade; do not assume suitability from marketing wording
Review impurities relevant to intended use, including water, color, chloride, sulfate, heavy metals, iron, residue on evaporation, and other buyer-specific trace limits
Check whether concentration options such as 85%, 90%, 94%, 98%, or 99% are available and whether they change DG classification or packing requirements
