Important: GBL is subject to regulatory controls in some jurisdictions. ECHA currently lists regulatory activity for CAS 96-48-0, and its regulatory status can vary by country.
For AN Group Export, I recommend listing it with “Subject to applicable regulatory and end-use requirements” rather than making unrestricted availability claims.
