Sodium bicarbonate for the United Kingdom
Food, feed and industrial sodium bicarbonate (HS 2836.30), quoted FOB Tianjin or CFR / CIF Felixstowe, with the plant’s batch COA on every container. Soda ash is quoted on request.
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 the United Kingdom we quote sodium bicarbonate in three grades: food grade (GB 1886.2-2015, E 500(ii)) for bakery, effervescent and food-processing plants, feed grade (GB 7300.801-2019) for dairy, poultry and premix feed, and industrial grade (GB/T 1606-2025 Class II) for detergents, cleaners, leather and textiles. Dense and light soda ash are quoted on request.
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.
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.
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.
In 2025 the United Kingdom imported about 41,500 t of sodium bicarbonate (HS 2836.30); main suppliers by tonnage: Türkiye 61% · Spain 11% · China 8%. UN Comtrade estimated part of the sodium bicarbonate tonnage from the declared customs values. Source: UN Comtrade, imports reported by the United Kingdom, retrieved 6 November 2026.
