From Shanghai to Rotterdam Port, the Netherlands

Sodium ascorbate, widely used as a food additive and nutritional fortifier, plays an important role in the pharmaceutical, food, and feed industries. As a fine chemical product, it requires strict compliance declaration and cargo protection in international ocean transportation. Entrusted by the client, AMASS undertook a full container load (FCL) shipment of sodium ascorbate from Shanghai Port to Rotterdam Port, the Netherlands.

PART 01 Compliance First, Strict Risk Control

For this shipment of sodium ascorbate, the AMASS team first implemented strict control during the initial compliance stage. The team carefully verified the HS code and regulatory requirements of the cargo, and guided the client in preparing declaration documents such as the MSDS, ensuring that every step complied with international ocean freight standards and mitigating customs inspection risks at the source.

PART 02 Stable Space Allocation, Precise Container Loading

1. Booking Stage:
   AMASS fully leveraged the dense Europe-bound shipping network at Shanghai Port to secure stable weekly sailing services, ensuring the cargo could be shipped on schedule.

2. Container Loading Stage:
   Considering the moisture-absorption characteristics and cleanliness requirements of sodium ascorbate, the operations team selected containers that meet food-grade transportation standards and conducted strict container inspections prior to loading. During stuffing, palletization and stretch wrapping were applied to reinforce the cargo, ensuring both dryness and cleanliness throughout the voyage, as well as stable stowage inside the container.
