Human review

Compliance notes

  • Request COA for each batch before shipment, including viscosity, particle size/mesh, moisture/loss on drying, pH, ash, pyruvic acid if applicable, microbiological limits, heavy metals, and any solvent/residue items required by destination market
  • Request SDS, TDS/specification sheet, allergen statement, GMO statement if needed, Halal/Kosher certificates if relevant, and food-contact packaging declaration where applicable
  • Supplier page references FCC, USP, and GB 1886.41; buyer should verify the exact edition and test methods used
  • Supplier page lists REACH Report and Health Certificate availability; confirm document scope, date, and whether it applies to the exact manufacturer and product grade
  • DG/export awareness: product is described as non-hazardous, but buyer should obtain SDS and transport classification confirmation for air/sea shipment
  • No regulatory approval or import acceptance should be assumed; buyer should confirm requirements with destination-country customs, food authority, and broker
