That distinction matters when the importer compares Monshell against Choco Pie, Dunkin Boston Cream Pie or other cake products. The saleable unit is one 408g retail box, but the consumer experiences twelve individually portioned cakes. A retailer can therefore compare price per box, price per piece and piece size.
KCN lists the product under Cakes & Pies / Pies & Cakes. The catalogue also carries Monshell Fresh Cream Original 408g and Fresh Cream Cacao 408g, giving the Strawberry SKU a clear place inside an existing Lotte cake family rather than making it a one-off novelty.
The strawberry version needs its own ingredient and allergen file. A fruit-flavored cream product can use strawberry puree, concentrate, jam, flavoring or a combination of these. The word “Strawberry” on the front is not enough to tell an importer how the fruit content should be declared in the destination market.
The same applies to the phrase “Fresh Cream.” It is part of the product identity, but it should not be translated into claims about refrigeration or freshness without checking the actual Korean specification. The retail product is sold as packaged confectionery, and the storage instruction should come from the exact export pack.
The weight structure gives the buyer useful commercial arithmetic. One box is 408g. Twelve pieces make each cake 34g. If KCN’s commercial carton count is later confirmed, the importer can calculate individual-piece volume for store allocation. Until then, the article should not invent a master case quantity.
Cake and cream products are sensitive to heat and pressure even when they are shelf stable. Long exposure to high container temperatures can affect coatings, cream texture and visual quality. Heavy cartons should not be stacked on top of the retail boxes.
There is also a useful range decision inside Lotte itself. Original, Cacao and Strawberry all share the 408g family format. An importer can choose two flavors rather than carrying three automatically. Strawberry may provide a fruit-led option where the other two are cream/chocolate-led.
The hard reference for KCN is 408g, 12 pieces of 34g, barcode 8802259017042. The next information to secure is the current case pack, shelf life, storage statement, manufacturer site and exact ingredient/allergen declaration.
