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
