KCN currently carries NONGSHIM Squid Champong Noodle Cup 67g, Korean name 농심 오징어짬뽕 컵 67g, barcode 8801043015745. In one part of the catalogue, however, it is classified under Chips & Savory Snacks / Seafood Snacks. Nongshim’s own store classifies the 67g product as 유탕면, or fried instant noodles. The KCN category should be corrected to Instant Noodles & Ramyun / Cup & Bowl Noodles.
The KCN commercial sheet shows 30 cups per carton. Thirty 67g cups contain 2.01 kg of declared food net weight. Nongshim’s Korean mall also sells the product in a 67g x 30 carton, which confirms the case count as a real domestic commercial configuration rather than an arbitrary KCN packing assumption.
The product’s flavor story comes from jjamppong, the Korean spicy seafood noodle-soup style. The squid reference is important, but the finished soup system can include a wider seafood base and vegetable seasonings. That is why the importer should treat the exact ingredient and allergen specification seriously. Squid is a mollusc, and many destination markets distinguish mollusc allergens from crustaceans and fish.
The small 67g cup serves a different purpose from Nongshim’s Squid Champong Big Cup 115g, also present in KCN. The 67g format is a compact convenience unit. The larger bowl offers almost twice the product mass. A retailer may need only one of them unless different channels or price points justify both.
The product is officially a fried noodle. That places it in the same basic preservation family as Shin Cup: a low-moisture noodle block with dry seasoning and garnish, rehydrated with hot water. There is no chilled or frozen requirement, but cup integrity and dry storage still matter.
KCN should verify the current shelf life from the offered batch rather than infer it from another Nongshim cup. Nongshim’s retail store deliberately avoids publishing a fixed consumer-expiry date because stock rotates continuously, which is another reminder that the actual batch should govern export quotations.
From a freight perspective, thirty small cups can be deceptively bulky. The food weight is just over 2kg, while the rigid containers occupy much more volume than flat packet noodles. Current carton dimensions and gross weight should therefore be attached before KCN calculates LCL landed cost.
This article also gives KCN a straightforward data-cleanup task: move barcode 8801043015745 out of Seafood Snacks and into Cup & Bowl Noodles.
For KCN, the hard reference is 67g, barcode 8801043015745, 30 cups per carton, fried-noodle food type.
