Import Tips
• Provide technical data sheet confirming CAS 617-48-1 (DL-malic) or 97-67-6 (L-malic) and assay >98%
• Declare intended industrial use on commercial invoice to avoid food-grade scrutiny
• Confirm no added functional substances per Chapter 29 note (g) that would render it suitable for specific use
