Import Tips
• Declare exact glycerol solids content using 'kg cmsc' if applicable, though typically reported by volume for waters
• Avoid drying or concentrating prior to export, as that elevates purity to 'crude glycerol' or refined categories
• Include hydrolysis process certificates to differentiate from general industrial wastewater
