3、 Shipping packaging requirements for Shenzhen to Denmark hotpot base: triple protection, strict prevention of leakage

Shipping hotpot base ingredients by sea, leak proof packaging is the lifeline! When the temperature of the butter base exceeds 50 ℃, it begins to leak oil. The internal temperature of the sea freight container can reach 70 ℃ in summer, and the packaging must be foolproof. Refer to the packaging plan that has been tested in actual combat:

First layer: Inner packaging sealing

-Vacuum bags must use double-layer aluminum foil composite film with a thickness of ≥ 0.1mm

-Adopting hot sealing+cold pressing process: First, heat seal the bag opening, then immediately press it with an ice pack for 10 seconds to prevent the butter from expanding due to heat

-Inverted test: Hang half a bag of water upside down for 24 hours, and if one drop leaks, it is considered unqualified

-Composite aluminum foil bag can reduce oil leakage rate to below 12%

Second layer: absorption and buffering

-Doll packaging: vacuum bag → aluminum foil bag → PP plastic box, three-layer protection

-Food grade foam particles shall be used as filler, and never use newspaper (ink and oil will smell)

-Place a humidity card inside the box, which is recognized as a testing basis by customs during inspection

-Wrap each bag of bottom material with EPE pearl cotton, and insert temperature recording cards at the four corners inside the box

Third layer: outer box and identification

-Choose B-type corrugated cardboard for the outer box, with a compressive strength of ≥ 800 pounds

-The box is sealed with six layers of I-shaped winding, and plastic corner protectors are added to the corners

-After sealing the box, it is considered qualified if it falls freely from a height of 1 meter and the items inside the box do not shift

-Make breathable holes on the side of the cardboard box to prevent bag swelling caused by temperature differences

-Label the outer box with "Dry Food" and "Keep Cool" labels

Tray requirements (if palletizing is required):

-Use pallets that comply with international standards, and wooden pallets must have IPPC fumigation markings (ISPM 15 standard)

-Leave forklift holes when palletizing, with a spacing of no less than 10cm

-Goods should be neatly stacked and not exceed the edge of the pallet, reinforced with wrapping film

4、 Precautions for Shipping Hotpot Bottom Ingredients from Shenzhen to Denmark: Risk Avoidance and Safe Shipping

1. EU Food Access Red Line

-Absolute Forbidden Zone: Products containing additives (some artificial sweeteners and preservatives) that have not been approved by the European Union are not allowed to leave; Meat containing products require additional approval, and it is recommended to use vegan or butter based ingredients for greater stability

-Hotpot base ingredients containing butter must ensure that the butter source meets EU hygiene standards, otherwise they may be returned

-The EU requires the detection limit of aflatoxin to be ≤ 4 μ g/kg, which is three times stricter than the domestic standard

-Allergens must be highlighted in the ingredient list, otherwise they may be seized

-The product packaging must have shelf life, storage conditions, manufacturer information, and be translated into Danish

-Placing phase-change ice packs in the interlayer of the box can effectively control the temperature

1. Peak season and climate

-The peak season for Danish logistics is concentrated from October to December (Christmas season), and it is recommended to stock up 30 days in advance

-The Nordic waters may be affected by severe weather in winter, and the voyage may be delayed by 5-10 days

-During the high temperature period in summer, special attention should be paid to temperature control when transporting oily products

-The ingredients and contents in the ingredient report, label, and packing list must be completely consistent, and inconsistencies are the main reason for customs clearance being stuck

-Leave a few packages of physical items before shipment, in case customs inspection requires them, they can be provided quickly
