Compliance notes
N-Butanol is generally treated as a flammable liquid for transport; confirm UN number, hazard class, packing group, and transport name from the supplier SDS before booking
Request latest SDS, COA, TDS, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and export customs documents
Confirm whether the supplied grade is industrial grade, solvent grade, or another declared grade; do not assume food, pharmaceutical, or reagent suitability from general-use claims
Verify CAS, assay, impurity profile, water content, acidity, color, and residue against the buyer's internal specification before approval
Check destination-country chemical inventory status, import controls, GHS label requirements, and local storage/transport rules with qualified compliance personnel
No regulatory approval, application suitability, or import clearance should be assumed from the listing alone
