Package and route

Packing notes

  • Listed packing options include 35 kg HDPE drums, 1600 kg IBC totes, and approximately 35 MT flexitank shipments.
  • Confirm whether food-grade packing is new, clean, sealed, and suitable for the declared grade.
  • Request packing photos, palletization details, net/gross weight, container loading plan, and seal number process for export shipments.
  • For flexitank supply, confirm flexitank compatibility with phosphoric acid, liner specification, carrier acceptance, and discharge documentation.
  • MOQ in source listing is stated as 26 tons; confirm trial order availability and sample policy separately.
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

Human review

Compliance notes

  • Product is identified as phosphoric acid, CAS 7664-38-2; confirm CAS, concentration, and grade on COA, SDS, label, invoice, and packing list.
  • Dangerous goods awareness required: listing states Hazard Class 8 corrosive. Confirm UN number, proper shipping name, packing group, marine pollutant status if applicable, and DG declaration requirements with the supplier and forwarder.
  • Request current SDS in GHS format, COA by batch, specification sheet, food-grade declaration if applicable, and certificate of origin before shipment.
  • Source text mentions Commercial Invoice, Packing List, COA, FORM E Certificate of Origin, Health Certificate, Bill of Lading, and REACH report; verify which documents are available for the destination country and buyer application.
  • Do not rely on marketplace certification claims alone; request copies of ISO 22000, Halal, Kosher, FCC-related statements, audit details, and issuing-body validity where relevant.
  • Check whether the product is intended for food, feed, industrial, or technical use, as documentation and impurity limits may differ by grade and market.
  • The listed HS Code appears as 17029000, which may not align with phosphoric acid in many tariff systems; buyer should confirm the correct HS code with a licensed customs broker.
  • Confirm destination-specific import permits, food additive registration, labeling language, and DG transport acceptance before placing an order.
