KCN lists the product under Beverages / Other Beverages with the Halal tag, barcode 8801382127789, and a commercial format of 500ml x 20. A Korean wholesale export listing for the exact same barcode publishes an 18-month shelf life, room-temperature storage, 11.2 kg gross carton weight, carton dimensions of 350 × 277 × 214 mm, and a carton cube of 0.021 CBM.
Twenty 500ml bottles equal 10 litres of beverage per carton. The published 11.2 kg gross weight therefore implies roughly 1.2 kg of packaging and carton weight above the liquid volume, assuming the beverage density is close to water. More importantly for freight planning, the buyer now has both weight and cube. Ten cartons would be roughly 112 kg gross and 0.21 CBM before palletization.
That is the kind of information that belongs in an importer article.
The “41%” needs separate verification. It is prominent enough to influence how the product is sold, but KCN should not guess what component the percentage refers to. The current manufacturer or export specification should state whether it refers to aloe content, aloe gel, aloe juice or another calculated basis. The local label should preserve that exact meaning rather than turn “41% Premium” into a vague health claim.
The same discipline applies to aloe itself. Aloe beverages often contain suspended pulp or gel pieces, which changes the eating/drinking experience and may influence customs descriptions or product classification. KCN should obtain the exact ingredient list for barcode 8801382127789 and avoid using formulation data from the 8% Dr.Aloe line, which is also present in the catalogue.
The Halal status is commercially important but should be handled as a document. KCN’s catalogue tags the product Halal and trade listings identify it the same way. An importer should still request the current certificate covering the exact SKU and facility, then confirm that the certifying body is accepted in the destination market. A Saudi, Malaysian, UAE or Indonesian buyer may not treat every overseas halal certificate identically.
An 18-month shelf life, if confirmed for the current export batch, gives the product more room for sea freight and distributor inventory than a six-month noodle cup. It does not remove the need to check batch age. A case sitting in a Korean warehouse for half a year still has a different commercial value from fresh production.
The 500ml format should also be compared with the 1.5L Dr.Aloe 41% Premium SKU in KCN’s catalogue. A convenience or single-serve channel may prefer 500ml. A family or household channel may use the 1.5L bottle more efficiently. Because beverages are freight-heavy, pack-size strategy is not cosmetic.
For KCN, the hard reference points are unusually strong: 500ml, 20 bottles per carton, barcode 8801382127789, 18-month listed shelf life, room-temperature storage, 11.2 kg gross carton, 0.021 CBM. The next document to secure is the exact current Halal certificate and the manufacturer’s definition of the 41% claim.
