How Instacertify Helped an Agarbatti Exporter Prepare a Globally Usable SDS
A Gujarat-based exporter of Agarbatti (Incense Sticks) was shipping a consignment to his customer in the United States when his shipping company / courier partner requested an MSDS/SDS for the product.
The requirement arose while the consignment was already in the logistics process, so the exporter needed to respond quickly. However, his requirement was not simply to obtain a generic MSDS template.
He was specifically looking for an MSDS authoring service provider who could understand his product quickly, assess the available product information and prepare a technically structured SDS suitable for international use.
His requirement was simple: Understand the product quickly. Prepare the SDS correctly. Make the documentation suitable for international customers and logistics partners.
Why He Chose Instacertify
The client approached Instacertify's MSDS Authoring Team because he needed a team that understood both product compliance and international export documentation.
Instead of simply filling out a standard MSDS template, our experts first focused on understanding the product, its composition, intended use and relevant safety characteristics. This allowed the team to move quickly from product information to hazard assessment and SDS preparation.
Our Solution
Instacertify's technical team prepared a comprehensive Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS) for the Agarbatti product, taking the United Nations Globally Harmonized System (UN GHS) 11th Revised Edition (2025) as the technical reference framework.
The SDS was structured to provide clear and consistent information across the applicable safety sections, including:
- Product identification and intended use
- Composition / information on ingredients
- Hazard identification
- First-aid measures
- Fire-fighting measures
- Accidental release measures
- Handling and storage
- Exposure controls and personal protection
- Physical and chemical properties
- Stability and reactivity
- Toxicological information
- Ecological information
- Disposal considerations
- Transport information
- Regulatory information
- Other relevant information
From One Shipment to Multiple Global Markets
The immediate requirement was triggered by the client's shipment to the United States. However, the exporter wanted documentation that could support his broader international business.
Once prepared, the SDS became a reusable product document that the exporter could provide to customers, logistics companies, courier partners and other stakeholders when required.
The client has subsequently been able to use the prepared SDS for exports to other international markets as well.

Instacertify helped the exporter turn an urgent shipment-related documentation requirement into a long-term product safety document for international trade.
