Import Tips

• Submit melting point and acid value test results to confirm purity meets palmitic acid specifications

• Use UN-approved drums or bags; declare 'non-hazardous' only if flash point >60°C

• Watch for misdeclaration as 'stearic acid' if C18 content exceeds 5%; precise fatty acid profile required
