Compliance notes

  • Request current COA for the offered batch showing CAS number, assay or purity, appearance, melting point, and any declared impurities.
  • Request SDS in English and confirm whether local-language SDS or label support is available for destination import clearance.
  • Confirm transport classification with supplier and freight forwarder before booking; do not rely only on marketplace category text.
  • Verify HS code, product name, CAS number, and invoice description consistency across PI, COA, SDS, packing list, and customs documents.
  • Ask whether the supplier can provide certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list, COA, SDS, and applicable export declaration documents.
  • Confirm whether the material is subject to any destination-market registration, notification, or chemical inventory requirements before purchase.
