From the buying desk

Solid phenol ships as UN1671; molten phenol in heated tanks ships as UN2312. It is toxic and corrosive through skin contact, so the importer needs trained handling at the receiving site. Buyers usually specify 99.9% minimum and a freezing point.

Import Card

Before you order phenol from China, see its register listing, the duty, anti dumping cases and a supplier check on one card, each with its source and date.
