Human review

Compliance notes

  • Sodium hydroxide is a hazardous corrosive chemical; DG classification, UN number, packing group, and transport labels must be confirmed from current SDS and booking documents
  • Request current COA, SDS, TDS/spec sheet, ISO 9001 certificate copy if applicable, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and bill of lading draft for review
  • For India-bound shipments, buyer should confirm import license/registration needs, customs HS code, port acceptance, and local hazardous chemical requirements with licensed customs and compliance advisors
  • Supplier page claims hazardous status; RFQ should ask for DG cargo booking experience and whether documents match IMDG/IATA/road/rail requirements as applicable
  • No regulatory guarantee should be assumed from marketplace listing data; rely on current batch documents and destination-country review
  • Confirm that product is not being marketed for food, pharma, medical, or consumer use unless supported by appropriate grade documentation and approvals
