Import Tips
• Verify purity and P2O5 content via certificate of analysis to confirm classification under polyphosphoric acids, not simple phosphoric acid
• Ensure UN-approved packaging (e.g
• IBCs with corrosion-resistant liners) and proper Hazmat documentation (UN1805, Class 8)
• Avoid misclassification as fertilizer-grade phosphoric acid; provide lab specs showing polymeric structure
