Palm Kernel Amide Foam Booster from Japan
Derived from palm kernel oil, this non-ionic fatty amide serves as a foam stabilizer in personal care products like shower gels. Its vegetable origin and surface tension-lowering properties align precisely with HTS 3402.42.20 specifications for non-soap organic surface-active agents.

Import Tips
• Submit fatty acid profile analysis confirming palm kernel (vegetable) derivation
• Watch for contamination with anionic agents that could reclassify as washing preparations
• Declare exact concentration specs to match non-ionic testing requirements
