Hotpot seasoning is becoming a new business card for Chinese cuisine going global. As a logistics hub in Europe, Belgium's ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge are important gateways to enter the Western European market. However, the compliance threshold for food exports to the European Union is extremely high - the ingredients are complex, the access is strict, and there are numerous documents. A customer once had 20 boxes of hot pot seasoning stuck at customs due to incomplete documents, and was charged a late fee of 48 euros per day. Andaxun International Logistics, based in the three major source distribution centers of Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen, has been specializing in food shipping for more than ten years. We provide you with full container/less than container load, double clearance and tax inclusive, door-to-door one-stop services, allowing Chinese flavors to safely arrive in Brussels and Antwerp.

2、 Shenzhen to Belgium Hotpot Bottom Shipping Customs Clearance Documents and Processes: Six Core Documents, None Can Be Missing

The preparation of documents is the key to the success or failure of exporting hotpot base ingredients to Belgium. As a member state of the European Union, Belgium has extremely strict customs inspections on food imports. For animal oil containing ingredients, an EU health certificate must be provided, while for plant containing ingredients, a phytosanitary certificate is required.

1. The six core documents that must be prepared are:

1. EU Health Certificate: Base materials containing animal ingredients such as butter must be issued by customs or inspection and quarantine agencies to prove the safety of animal derived raw materials, and must be issued within 30 days before shipment

2. Plant quarantine certificate: The base material containing dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, mushrooms and other plant raw materials must be provided

3. Ingredient testing report: accurate to percentage content, with a focus on labeling preservatives and additives. The European Union requires additives to be labeled with an E number

4. Certificate of Origin (CO or FORM A/EUR1): Used to enjoy tariff preferences

5. Non GMO certification (English version): a mandatory requirement in the EU market

6. Registration Certificate for Export Food Production Enterprises: Essential Qualifications for Export Food Enterprises

2. Belgium destination port customs clearance process (our local cooperative customs clearance agency handles the entire process):

|Importer registration | Ensure that importers complete filing with the Belgian Federal Agency for Food Chain Safety (FAVV) | 2-3 weeks in advance|

|Pre review of documents | Check invoices, ingredient reports, hygiene certificates, plant quarantine certificates, etc. | 1-2 days|

|Customs declaration | Declared through the Belgian Customs electronic system, commercial invoices must include both parties' EORI numbers | 2-5 days|

|Inspection and release | The food inspection rate is relatively high, about 25% -30%, and buffer time needs to be reserved | Depending on the situation|

|Pay taxes and fees | Pay customs duties and 21% value-added tax on behalf of others (usually 6% for food) | Real time|

|Delivery | DPD/UPS/GLS delivery in Belgium | 1-3 days|

3. Mandatory label requirements (important!):

-The Royal Decree of Belgium requires that imported goods directly aimed at consumers must include a Chinese product name (not in pinyin), a sensitive source warning box (red background and white text, font not less than 2mm), a declaration of origin, and special storage conditions

-The food ingredient list must be arranged in descending order of content and must be labeled in the official language of the European Union

-Allergens must be labeled in both Dutch and French, and the presence of any of the 14 major categories of allergens must be clearly indicated

3、 Shipping packaging requirements for Shenzhen to Belgium hotpot base: triple protection, strict adherence to standards

Shipping hotpot base ingredients by sea, leak proof packaging is the lifeline! The internal temperature of a sea freight container can reach 70 ℃ in summer, and the butter base material begins to leak oil when it exceeds 50 ℃. The packaging must meet the following standards:

First layer: Inner packaging sealing

-Vacuum bags must be made of double-layer aluminum foil composite film with a thickness of ≥ 0.1mm, and double-layer sealing rings must be added to the bottle mouth

-Immediately cool press for 10 seconds after heat sealing to prevent the butter from expanding due to heat

-Perform inversion test before shipment: Hang half a bag of water upside down for 24 hours to verify sealing

Second layer: absorption and buffering

-Cover the vacuum bag with an aluminum foil bag and then put it into a PP plastic box ("nesting style" three-layer protection)

-Place food grade absorbent pads inside the box, fill the gaps with EPE pearl cotton, and add temperature recording cards at the four corners inside the box

-The side of the cardboard box must be perforated to prevent bag swelling caused by temperature differences

-Glass bottle jacket with EPE cushioning cotton, thickness ≥ 2cm

Third layer: outer box and pallet

-The outer box is made of B-type corrugated cardboard, with a compressive strength of ≥ 800 pounds; Six layers of I-shaped winding sealing box, with plastic corner protectors added to the edges and corners

-Spray the "Dry Food" and "Keep Cool" labels on the outer box

-The outer box is not intentionally labeled with the words' food ', and the waybill must be filled in truthfully and accurately

-Wooden pallets must have IPPC fumigation markings and be reinforced with wrapping film

4、 Notes on Shipping Hotpot Bottom Ingredients from Shenzhen to Belgium: Avoiding Five Core Risks

1. The ingredient red line cannot be touched: Foods containing meat products, dairy products, eggs, and egg products belong to high-risk prohibited categories and are strictly prohibited from entering the country regardless of their packaging. The base material containing butter must ensure that the butter source meets EU hygiene standards. Seasoning with a moisture content exceeding 85% may be returned directly.

2. EU access standards: Belgian customs have strict control over food imports, especially animal derived ingredients. If the hotpot base contains chili, attention should be paid to the EU's limit requirements for aflatoxin (≤ 4 μ g/kg), which is three times stricter than the domestic standard; Pesticide residues (such as chlorpyrifos) must also comply with EU limit standards.

3. Label language requirements: Belgian customs require product labels to include French/Dutch information, and the ingredient list should be arranged in descending order of content, using standardized INCI names.

4. Classification of dangerous goods: If the liquid red oil exceeds 100ml, it must be transported according to the classification of dangerous goods.

5. Peak season and climate: It is recommended to stock up 30 days in advance during the Christmas peak season from October to December. During the high temperature period in summer, special attention should be paid to temperature control when transporting oily products. It is recommended to choose refrigerated cabinets or place phase-change ice packs.
