KCN lists the Korean-market Cheetos Spicy 82g x 12, barcode 8801062380015, in the Chips & Savory Snacks / Nachos & Tortilla Chips area. The KCN source data marks it for room-temperature storage. Lotte Wellfood’s own Sweet Mall currently sells the Korean 치토스 매콤달콤 82g, confirming that this is an active Korean-market pack.
The 12-bag configuration represents 984g of declared food net weight across the set. As with most puffed or extruded snacks, the shipping cube will be far more important than that sub-one-kilogram food mass suggests.
A global logo can hide a local formulation
A buyer searching “Cheetos Spicy ingredients” can easily land on U.S., Japanese, Indian or other market data. That is not a safe basis for barcode 8801062380015.
Current Korean retail databases list the 82g Korean product as a snack with a Korean-specific allergen declaration including egg, chicken, soy, wheat and milk. One current listing gives 475 kcal per 82g bag. Those details are useful for understanding the SKU, but the export label supplied with KCN’s actual stock should still be the final source before a destination nutrition panel is created.
The presence of chicken in the allergen/declaration data is exactly the kind of detail an importer could miss by assuming that an orange corn snack is simply corn, oil and cheese seasoning.
That also matters for halal and vegetarian markets. No suitability statement should be made without exact certification or formula review.
The Korean product is a fried/extruded snack, not a dense food
Cheetos bags are designed with headspace to protect the snack from crushing. That turns freight into a dimensional problem. Twelve bags weigh 984g of food, but the master carton may occupy much more volume than a one-kilogram carton of candy, sauces or compact biscuits.
The importer should ask KCN for the current carton dimensions and gross weight. On an LCL load, compare the cost per cubic meter rather than imagining that a light case is automatically a cheap case.
Pallet placement matters too. The carton should not sit below dense beverages or canned products.
KCN carries two 82g Cheetos profiles and larger 164g formats
The same catalogue includes Cheetos BBQ 82g, Cheetos Spicy 164g and Cheetos BBQ 164g. That gives the buyer a clean size-and-flavor matrix.
A convenience-oriented retailer may prefer 82g. A supermarket or club-style channel may make better use of 164g. A buyer does not need both sizes of both flavors unless there is enough shelf space and distribution.
This is where the article can naturally lead to a better RFQ. Ask for the intended channel and compare the Korean Cheetos range rather than sending a generic “Cheetos price.”
For the KCN catalogue, the current reference is 82g, barcode 8801062380015, room-temperature storage, 12-bag commercial configuration.
