What we do not do
TradeBioIndia does not test, store, ship or certify any product, and does not verify every document a supplier provides. Buyers must independently validate licences, certificates and product suitability before contracting — especially for prescription products.
Do Indian suppliers offer sustained-release grade metformin?
Yes — SR/ER-ready grades with the particle-size and release specifications formulators require; confirm the target profile in your enquiry.
What is the MOQ for metformin HCl?
Typically 500–1,000 kg per order from manufacturers; stockists may offer smaller trial lots.
Which documentation comes with an export consignment?
Batch COA, MSDS, GMP certificate and Certificate of Origin as standard; DMF/CTD dossiers for regulated markets on request.
How is metformin packed for sea shipment?
Double-PE-lined 25 kg fibre drums, moisture-protected and palletised — metformin is hygroscopic, so liner integrity matters. TradeBioIndia is a listing platform and is not a party to any transaction between buyer and supplier.
