Compliance policy

Everything on OfferBulk must be legal and ethical. We screen every RFQ and supplier profile with a rule list and an AI check. Anything doubtful is held for manual review; anything that breaks the rules below is rejected and never published.

Not accepted

• Alcoholic beverages and beverage alcohol. Industrial ethanol is reviewed by hand.
• Meat and meat products of any kind (including poultry, beef, mutton and pork), animal gelatin, meat by-products, and slaughter, abattoir or meat-processing equipment.
• Animal-derived ingredients such as animal-fat glycerin and E471 mono- and diglycerides from animal sources.
• Tobacco, nicotine, vaping products, cannabis and narcotics.
• Weapons, ammunition, explosives, weapon sights and military goods.
• Gambling products and services.
• Interest-based financing, loans and credit terms. OfferBulk does not process payments; payment terms are agreed directly between buyer and supplier and must not involve interest.
• Adult content and products, and counterfeit or replica goods.
• Any shipment to, from or for a party or territory under comprehensive sanctions (currently including Iran, North Korea, Cuba and the occupied regions of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk). Destinations with partial sanctions are reviewed by hand.

Accepted with conditions

• Glycerin, emulsifiers, preservatives, additives and glucose: the source must be stated as plant-based, synthetic or mineral.
• Precursor chemicals (for example acetone, toluene, MEK, sulphuric and hydrochloric acid, potassium permanganate): an end-use declaration is required and every request is reviewed by hand. Table I precursors (for example ephedrine, P2P, safrole) are not handled at all.
• Explosives precursors and dual-use items (for example ammonium nitrate, high-strength hydrogen peroxide, night-vision optics): reviewed by hand.

Certificates

Where certification matters, buyers should ask for a certificate from a body recognised by the authorities in the importing country, and check it is valid for the specific product and production site.

Report a problem

If you see a listing that breaks these rules, note its reference number (for example RFQ-XXXX) and report it via the contact details on the About page.
