Woosin Trading lists barcode 8800242940131, 320g per unit, 12 units per carton, 14 months shelf life, room-temperature storage, 5.0 kg gross carton weight, carton dimensions 370 × 155 × 220 mm, and 0.013 CBM.
Twelve 320g units equal 3.84 kg of declared food net weight. The 5kg gross carton therefore includes roughly 1.16kg of pouches or trays, outer packaging and corrugated board. Ten cartons would be about 50kg gross and 0.13 CBM before palletization.
The product is technically more interesting than a generic “ready noodle.” Japchae is built around glass noodles, usually made from sweet-potato starch, rather than wheat ramen. Current DELIEF trade material for its Japchae line describes a microwave-ready product using glass noodles with vegetables and soy-based seasoning. That makes wheat and soy important areas to verify because wheat can appear in soy sauce even when the noodle itself is gluten-free starch.
Current K-FoodTrade material for DELIEF’s Spicy Japchae lists ingredients including sweet-potato-starch noodles, carrot, soy sauce, onion, oyster mushroom, shiitake mushroom, sesame oil and pepper. The Original 320g product needs its own exact ingredient file, but the product family clearly shows why the importer should think about soy, wheat, sesame and mushroom components rather than treat the meal as plain starch noodles.
Preparation is part of the commercial appeal. DELIEF trade materials describe the Japchae range as easy microwave meals, with around three minutes of cooking. That should be verified against the exact pack and then translated faithfully. A ready meal loses much of its value if the customer needs to guess the heating method.
The 14-month shelf life is useful for markets where Korean ready meals are still developing. A distributor can afford to test the SKU more cautiously than it could with chilled japchae. The product also travels as ambient cargo, so it can share a pallet with sauces, tteokbokki and other shelf-stable products.
KCN should keep Original and Spicy Japchae as distinct SKUs. The ingredient and heat profiles are different, and the retailer may not need both in equal quantities.
For KCN, the hard reference is 320g, barcode 8800242940131, 12 units per carton, 14 months shelf life, 5kg gross carton, 0.013 CBM.
