Reminder about Health certificate
Because chitin and chitosan are from animal origin, a health certificate is required to clear customs in Eurozone. Such document is valid only if delivered by a manufacturer registered in the Euro TRACES system. The good news is that we provide a certificate fully compliant with this regulation.
To order, nothing is easier. Contact us by phone or by email and specify :
- Grade : Industrial, Food/Pharma
- Origin : shrimp or squid
- Degree of deacetylation (%DD), Viscosity…
- Desired quantity
- Shipping method
Next, we will send you a price quote and lead time.
Product Grades Definitions

- Some impurities : 1 time inspection
Food/Pharma Grade
- Limit Heavy metals
- Limit Microbiology
- Particle size usually small to very fine
- Low Impurities : 2 times inspection

List of Products
Important Note : we measure the viscosity of our products in 1% chitosan solution prepared with acetic acid (1%). Be aware that if you use another acid or change chitosan concentration, result can vary widely.
