Package and route
Packing notes
Listed transport package includes 250 kg drum and 1250 kg IBC.
Extracted supplier text also mentions 200 kg/drum or 210 kg/drum; buyer should confirm the current export packing size.
Package size shown: 65 cm x 65 cm x 95 cm with gross weight 265 kg, likely for drum packing; confirm net weight per package.
For cosmetic-grade RFQs, request food/cosmetic-compatible inner coating or packaging declaration if required by the destination buyer.
Confirm palletization, container loading quantity, drum material, tamper seal, batch labeling, and whether mixed-batch shipment is allowed.
Request photos of actual export drums/IBCs and label template before shipment.
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
Cosmetic formulation raw material screening where cosmetic-grade documentation must be verified
Humectant or solvent sourcing for personal care production after grade confirmation
General chemical distribution in drum or IBC quantities
Industrial formulation use where 99.5% glycerin is acceptable and impurity limits meet buyer specification
Tender or RFQ comparison for Vietnam-bound glycerin shipments
How we compare
Sourcing options
Request cosmetic-grade 99.5% glycerin in 250 kg drums with COA and SDS.
Request higher-purity glycerin if the buyer requires USP, EP, BP, or food-grade compliance.
Request 1250 kg IBC packing for bulk industrial or distributor supply.
Ask for vegetable-origin glycerin if needed for cosmetic brand positioning.
Request third-party inspection, batch sampling, and sealed counter-sample before loading.
Compare FOB, CIF Ho Chi Minh City, and CIF Hai Phong quotes including current sea freight and documentation charges.
Human review
Compliance notes
Request current batch COA showing CAS 56-81-5, assay, appearance, color, density/specific gravity, chloride, sulfate, residue on ignition, heavy metals, chlorinated compounds, and related impurities.
For Vietnam cosmetic-use sourcing, confirm whether the supplier can provide documents aligned with the buyer’s local cosmetic raw material requirements; do not rely on marketplace application claims alone.
Request SDS in English and, if needed, Vietnamese-compatible format through the importer or local compliance partner.
Confirm whether the offered grade is industrial, cosmetic, food, USP, EP, BP, or other recognized grade; the source listing mixes industrial and cosmetic/food application language.
Ask whether the material is vegetable-derived, synthetic, biodiesel-derived, or other origin if this matters for cosmetics, halal, vegan, RSPO, or customer claims.
Request allergen, GMO, animal-origin, residual solvent, and contaminant statements only where relevant to the buyer’s regulatory file.
Confirm dangerous goods status, UN classification if any, and carrier acceptance before shipment; do not assume non-DG status without supplier SDS and freight forwarder confirmation.
For export readiness, request Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, COA, SDS, Certificate of Origin, and any destination-specific documents required by the Vietnam importer.
