Sodium bicarbonate for Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland
Food, feed and industrial sodium bicarbonate (HS 2836.30) for the Baltic states and Finland, and dense soda ash (HS 2836.20) for Lithuania. Quoted FOB Tianjin or CFR / CIF Klaipėda, with the plant’s batch COA on every container.
Yizhou Chem is a trading company in Hohhot and an authorized distributor of Berun, China’s largest soda ash and baking soda producer by capacity. We buy soda ash and sodium bicarbonate at source from Berun’s supply plant, Inner Mongolia Berun Yingen Chemical Co., Ltd. in Alxa League, Inner Mongolia, with no monthly volume cap, and handle the export: grade, packing, the plant’s batch COA matched to the bag markings, and the shipping documents.
For Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland we quote sodium bicarbonate in three grades: food grade (GB 1886.2-2015, E 500(ii)), feed grade (GB 7300.801-2019) and industrial grade (GB/T 1606-2025 Class II). For Lithuania we also quote dense soda ash, one 20′ container at a time.
Send the grade, quantity, packing and discharge port. We reply with a written quote within 24 hours (GMT+8, Mon–Sat), valid for 7 calendar days, and send a 500 g sample with the matching COA free of charge before a first order. Our sales contract for these four markets states that the goods will not be re-exported to Russia or Belarus.
Food grade NaHCO₃ is a raising agent for biscuits, crackers and cakes, a CO₂ source for effervescent drinks and a pH regulator in food processing. Feed grade is a rumen buffer for dairy cattle and a sodium source for electrolyte balance in poultry, swine and premix. Industrial grade gives mild alkalinity to powder detergents and cleaners, and is used for deliming in tanneries and pH control in dyeing. Mixed-grade loading in one container is routine: each grade keeps its own batch numbers, bag markings and COA.
For a Lithuanian glass, detergent or chemical buyer that wants a second source, we quote dense soda ash (HS 2836.20) one 20′ container at a time, CFR Klaipėda, in 1,000, 1,250 or 1,350 kg jumbo bags. It is quoted to GB/T 210-2022 Class II superior grade: total alkali (dry basis) ≥ 99.2%, NaCl ≤ 0.70%, Fe ≤ 0.0035%, bulk density ≥ 0.90 g/mL. The lot COA states the actual values.
Importers often ask who made the product and where. We disclose the producing plant, Inner Mongolia Berun Yingen Chemical Co., Ltd. in Alxa League, Inner Mongolia, as the legal manufacturer and site, and show its ISO 22000 certificate and its food and feed production licences as watermarked, view-only copies; the originals are shown on request with an RFQ. They are the plant’s documents, not Yizhou Chem’s.
