KCN lists the product as 농심 멸치칼국수 컵 75g, barcode 8801043066556, under Cup & Bowl Noodles. The KCN case data gives 16 cups per carton. That is 1.2 kg of declared food net weight per case.
A current Korean export wholesaler provides much more useful physical data for the same barcode: 6 months shelf life, room-temperature storage, 2.4 kg gross carton weight, carton dimensions of 545 × 288 × 165 mm, and 0.026 CBM. Those figures show exactly why cup noodles cannot be costed by food weight alone. The case contains only 1.2 kg of food but weighs twice that gross and occupies 0.026 cubic metres.
Current Korean nutrition databases list the cup at about 280 kcal per 75g serving, with relatively low fat compared with many fried cup noodles. The product belongs to Nongshim’s lighter noodle family rather than to the classic oil-fried ramen format. That technical difference helps explain both the calorie profile and the noodle texture.
The anchovy element is the compliance detail to watch. An importer should obtain the exact ingredient and allergen file because fish-derived seasoning can affect allergen declarations and, in some destinations, product classification or religious suitability. A customer should never infer vegetarian status simply because the cup looks lighter or lacks visible meat pieces.
Kalguksu itself refers to a broad, knife-cut noodle style, but the packaged cup is an instant interpretation. That distinction should stay clear in the product page. There is no need to claim that the product reproduces a handmade restaurant bowl exactly. The useful buyer story is that Nongshim adapted an anchovy-broth kalguksu profile into a 75g convenience cup.
The six-month shelf life places the same procurement discipline on the SKU as Shin Cup. The buyer should ask for the actual production date or remaining shelf life of the offered stock. A lighter, less globally familiar noodle can move more slowly than Shin in some markets, so batch age becomes commercially relevant.
The carton data is especially valuable for LCL planning. At 0.026 CBM and 2.4 kg gross, ten cartons would be roughly 0.26 CBM and 24 kg gross before palletization. That gives the buyer a real basis for comparing Kalguksu Cup with other Nongshim cups.
KCN also carries the 98g packet version of Nongshim Anchovy Kalguksu. An importer can therefore choose between a cooking format and a convenience format instead of automatically listing both.
For KCN, the hard reference is 75g, barcode 8801043066556, 16 cups per carton, 6-month listed shelf life, 2.4 kg gross case, 0.026 CBM.
