Compliance Disclaimer

This Compliance Disclaimer explains how compliance-related information is presented on this platform and clarifies the limits of what we provide.
We are compliance-first and documentation-focused, but we do not provide legal advice and we do not guarantee outcomes.

Informational-only (not legal advice)

The information on this site—including country/legal context pages, testing standards, COA guidance, and shipping documentation guidance—is provided
for informational and operational purposes only. It is not legal advice and is not a substitute for guidance from qualified professionals.

If you need a legal determination for a specific destination market, you should consult qualified counsel and/or an import specialist.
Use our /legal-status/ hub as a starting point for context, not a final decision.

Jurisdiction variability and enforcement risk

Requirements can vary significantly by country and may change over time. Even where a product appears to meet a stated threshold or standard,
enforcement conditions may differ (inspection practices, documentation expectations, sampling methods, and local interpretations).

• No guarantee of acceptance: we do not guarantee customs clearance, delivery timelines, or shipment acceptance.
• Risk exists: shipments may be inspected, delayed, returned, or refused based on destination controls and carrier handling.

For operational context and buyer expectations, review:
/documentation/risk-disclosure/ and /shipping/.

Buyer responsibility (non-transferable)

Buyers are responsible for their own compliance decisions. Specifically, buyers are responsible for:

• Assessing destination-market requirements and permitted product categories
• Confirming import eligibility, labeling expectations, and documentation needs
• Maintaining internal records and audit trails
• Ensuring ordering decisions align with business policy and risk tolerance

If you’re building your procurement file, start with:
/documentation/ and /compliance/.

Documentation-first standards (what we actually provide)

Our role is operational: we emphasize documentation completeness, consistent batch identifiers, and verifiable testing practices.
That means we help you evaluate batches using records that can be reviewed internally.

Core documentation pillars

• COA requirements: what a COA must include to be considered complete
  (/compliance/certificate-of-analysis/).
• Testing standards: baseline test panels and sampling discipline
  (/compliance/thca-testing-standards/).
• Lab verification: verifying lab identity and scope
  (/compliance/lab-verification/).
• Batch traceability: mapping batch/lot IDs across documents
  (/compliance/batch-traceability/).
• Shipping documents: aligning invoice/packing list/batch mapping
  (/compliance/shipping-documents/).
• Packaging & labeling: documentation consistency with physical presentation
  (/compliance/packaging-labeling/).

No guarantees (quality, legality, outcomes)

Even with strong documentation, we do not guarantee:

• that a destination market will accept a shipment
• that a product is lawful in a specific jurisdiction
• that third-party lab results will be interpreted identically by all parties
• that carriers, customs, or other third parties will handle a shipment without delays

Our standards are designed to reduce uncertainty, not eliminate it. The responsible approach is to decide
with a written buyer SOP, defined acceptance criteria, and a documented retest/dispute process.

Third-party reliance and verification

Certain information may be provided by third parties (labs, carriers, service providers). Buyers should treat third-party materials
as inputs that can be verified, not as unchallengeable truth.

• Verify labs using /compliance/lab-verification/.
• Use sample formats as references only: /documentation/sample-coa/.

Contact

If you need documentation for a specific batch (COA, traceability, lab verification, shipping mapping),
contact us via /contact/ and include the batch/lot ID(s).

FAQ

Does a COA prove legality in my country?

No. A COA is a technical lab report and one part of a broader compliance assessment. Use it alongside
destination-market review and internal controls. Start at /legal-status/.

Do you guarantee customs clearance or delivery timelines?

No. See /shipping/ and /documentation/risk-disclosure/.

What’s the minimum documentation I should require as a wholesale buyer?

At minimum: a complete, batch-linked COA, traceability identifiers that map across documents, and verifiable lab details.
Start with COA requirements and
batch traceability.

Can you help me build a procurement SOP around these standards?

We can support documentation alignment and help clarify what records are needed. Use /documentation/
as the operational starting point and request specifics via /contact/.
