Introduction
When sourcing Dapoxetine Hydrochloride (HCl) powder in bulk, procurement is only half the job. Equally critical is ensuring safe handling, compliant storage, and proper documentation.
Every professional shipment of Dapoxetine should be accompanied by a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). This document is not only required for customs clearance and regulatory audits, but also provides essential safety measures for labs, warehouses, and production staff.
This guide summarizes the MSDS essentials and offers practical handling and storage best practices for buyers and manufacturers.

- Export Documents Required:
- COA (Certificate of Analysis)
- MSDS
- GMP certificate
- Commercial invoice & packing list

Disposal Guidelines
- Small Quantities: Absorb in inert material (e.g., sand), dispose as chemical waste
- Bulk Quantities: Use certified hazardous waste management services
- Environmental Protection: Do not discharge into drains, surface water, or soil
Buyer Red Flags
- Supplier refuses to provide MSDS or sends a generic template without Dapoxetine-specific data.
- No storage instructions listed (proper suppliers always specify 2–8°C).
- Product shipped in non-sealed bags instead of foil + drum.
- Lack of transport compliance → risk of customs seizure.
