Provide enough context for the supplier to screen the request
Include your company, business email, application, target pH or process conditions when relevant, expected commercial volume and delivery location. This helps the supplier identify the correct grade and documentation route.
Confirm what the sample represents
Ask whether the sample is from a commercial batch, whether its COA is available, and whether future supply will follow the same specification. Confirm sample quantity, courier arrangement, customs description and any sample or freight charge before dispatch.
