Very doubtful.
If you find a place. PM me!

This company does not charge large hazmat fees for even things like sulfuric acid or acetic anhydride or the nitric acid you want to my knowledge (I
have ordered *many* potentially dangerous chemicals from them, so I assume HNO3 would be no different);
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nitric-Acid-69-1-Litre-1L-/1405739...
They also do 500ml, 2.5ltr and 5ltr quantities, have a look at their shop.

i was asking the question
i am at the point to buy nitric acid but the compagny sell a way to much for the minimal quantity
205 liter
so i has the idea to resell a part of it
but i was looking at the fee to ship and its pretty high
advantageously the seller is close of where i live
Hexavalent - 3-1-2012 at 09:23
So why buy 205 litres for such a fee and have to resell loads of it when you could get just what *you* need?
garry21 - 3-1-2012 at 09:29
i can go directly in person to buy the nitric acid they sell 205 liter
but i need only 50 liter
so the the rest i can sell it
but if someone is gonna buy it i think he would need to receive it by shippement
the only haz mat fee i can have is when i ship that
i was thinking to transfert the acid in 12
5 gallon glass carboy
glass-carboy

Ah, I see. Your original post was confusing. Although I would reccomend this eBayer for such chems, though.

i am in canada and that ebay seller don'T ship in canada from what i see

Have you checked for any other local dealers? Im not sure exactly where you live, but usually in a largeish town/city you can find a lab supply
store.
garry21 - 3-1-2012 at 12:07
yeah its the only seller i have find
but i am wondering to who the hell i could sell that
this is a huge amound of nitric acid
zoombafu - 3-1-2012 at 14:21
Yes, that is a huge amount, and depending on the concentration, you usually do not need overly large amounts of nitric acid for many reaction. Im not
sure if they ship to Canada, but I buy most of my chemicals from elemental scientific. They charge $25 hazmat for nitric acid, but if you buy a
couple gallons of it the fee balances its self out (It would be a waste to buy 500ml of it for a few dollars, then have to pay almost 30 dollars for
shipping)

on the signal fiche
they say
Nitric Acid 7697-37-2 60 - 100%
its a stainless steel drum from whay they say

"Ready Reagents" supplied me 35% H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> but expecting them to 'readily' supply HNO<sub>3</sub>
in quantity is an altogether different matter . . .?

That eBay seller is UK-based and usually such sellers only ship to EU countries and certainly not to the USA and Canada. Inside the EU there is a
reasonably free traffic of chemicals, but exporting and importing things is a different matter.
Besides this, the mentioned eBay seller also charges high shipping fees to mainland EU for the nitric acid and sulphuric acid. He charges well over
GBP 30 shipping fee for the nitric acid, while for a similar weight of his other chemicals he only charges GBP 8 or so. This difference most likely is
due to hazmat fees and/or much better and more careful packaging.

Nitric acid is not something you buy from another country. Find a supplier close to you.
I would understand it it was depleted uranium compounds or something extremely rare, but nitric acid? People who work in the art restoration use it on
a daily basis! It's a common, mass produced chemical.
Don't waste your money on international hazmat fees because it looks like a real life embodiement of a Rube Goldberg machine.

You can make nitric acid pretty easily, try doing that.
Pulverulescent - 5-1-2012 at 10:56
Having conc. nitric acid makes your sulphuric go a lot further, though!
