Hot pot is the “social code” of Chinese cuisine, and hot pot base is the soul of this spicy and steaming delicacy. In recent years, with the rise of Chinese food culture in Central and Eastern Europe, the demand for authentic Chinese hot pot base in the Slovenian market has continued to rise.
However, hot pot base has complex ingredients: animal-derived components such as beef tallow and bone meal require strict quarantine; plant-derived ingredients like chili, Sichuan peppercorn and mushrooms are subject to pesticide residue limits; and liquid chili oil packs over 100ml may even be classified as dangerous goods for transport. Its export and customs clearance are far more difficult than ordinary food products.
With more than 10 years of experience in sea freight for food and sensitive goods, Andaxun International Logistics has built an exclusive sea freight channel for hot pot base from China directly to Slovenia, relying on the three major Pearl River Delta ports in Guangzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen.
We offer flexible options of Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL), providing one-stop full-chain services including booking, customs declaration, ocean shipping, dual customs clearance with tax included, and door-to-door delivery. We strictly abide by EU food import standards, ensuring Chinese delicacies arrive at Port of Koper legally and safely, spreading flavor across Ljubljana!
