Purchase orders. We accept purchase orders (payment 30 days) submitted by fax or e-mail. We confirm shipment, but only if an email address is included. Minimum purchase order is $50.

Restrictions on quantities sold to a customer. IHSS standard humic and fulvic acids were originally intended to be used by researchers as a means of comparing laboratory techniques. In order to allow for the use of our materials by the maximum number of laboratories we set annual limits on purchases of our products. A limit of one gram is applied to the Suwannee River Humic Acid and Peat Fulvic Acid Standards and 0.5 grams to the Elliot Soil Fulvic Acid Standard. Higher limits apply to the other Standard and Reference samples. These limits are shown on the purchase limits page. No orders of over $2500 for delivery outside the USA. IHSS does not have the required export permit.
Order processing time. We normally process your order within 4 business days.
Payment by check. Make payment to the International Humic Substances Society in U.S. dollars by check drawn on a U.S. bank. Send to:
