Soda ash and sodium bicarbonate for Kazakhstan, by rail
Dense and light soda ash and sodium bicarbonate for Kazakh buyers, quoted by rail from China. The minimum order is one full container load; the rail route and delivery point are confirmed in each quote.
Yizhou Chem is a trading company in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, and an authorized distributor of Berun, China’s largest soda ash and baking soda producer by capacity. Our supply plant, Inner Mongolia Berun Yingen Chemical Co., Ltd., is in Alxa League, also in Inner Mongolia. For Kazakhstan we quote delivery by rail instead of a sea leg through Tianjin.
Send the grade, quantity, packing and destination station. The minimum order is one full container load. The quote states the rail route, border crossing, delivery point (the border or your station) and dispatch date. A 500 g sample with the matching COA is free of charge before a first order.
China–Kazakhstan rail freight crosses at Alashankou–Dostyk or Khorgos–Altynkol, where cargo moves to broad-gauge wagons. The crossing, wagon or container type and delivery point depend on what the route offers at the time, so we fix each of them in the quote rather than promise them here. The minimum order is one full container load.
Dense soda ash (bulk density ≥ 0.90 g/mL) for glass, light soda ash for detergent and water treatment; food, feed and industrial sodium bicarbonate. Mixed-grade loading in one container is routine: each grade keeps its own batch numbers, bag markings and COA.
In 2025 Kazakhstan imported about 371,800 t of soda ash (HS 2836.20); main suppliers by tonnage: Russia 67% · Uzbekistan 19% · China 12%.
