From Lianyungang to Sundsvall, cargo moves out of Lianyungang, crosses a Suez-or-Cape voyage that ends with the Danish straits and the Baltic, and is discharged at the port of Sundsvall.

Sweden has required producer registration with Naturvårdsverket since January 2026. Below are 5 route-specific points to plan for, what we do about each, and the documents to have ready before booking.

What we need to start

  • Break-bulk ESS guide
  • Fog season Apr–Jul
  • Consignee EORI
  • EU declaration of conformity
  • Naturvårdsverket registration

Route profile

How Lianyungang → Sundsvall differs from other lanes

Sea corridor

Asia – Baltic via the Danish straits

The Baltic is reached only through the Danish straits, where deep-draught ships are advised to take pilots, and its northern ports set ice-class restrictions every winter.

Import country

Sweden

Naturvårdsverket registration under Ordinance 2025:813 since 1 January 2026, plus EU duties from CE marking to ADR on the road leg.

Where this route gets difficult

5 pain points from Lianyungang to Sundsvall

Loading port first, then the sea leg, then Sundsvall and the Sweden market.

  1. Origin port

    A shorter document list at Lianyungang, not a shorter check

    Lianyungang MSA's Notice No. 1 of 2024 cut the materials for 'new three' cargo to four on the cargo side: the safe-carriage declaration, the inspector-signed packing certificate, the packaging inspection certificate where packaged, and a power of attorney. Fewer papers means each one carries more weight; the packing certificate still has to be signed by a certified inspector after supervised stuffing.

    What Anxin does: We prepare the four cargo-side documents together and check that the packing certificate, the packaging certificate and the declaration describe the same UN numbers and quantities.

  2. Sea corridor

    The Asia leg decides Suez or the Cape

    Up to the Danish straits the voyage matches North Europe's: Sea-Intelligence put Red Sea routing at 27% for North Europe services in September 2026, so most containers still sail round the Cape of Good Hope, where SAMSA estimates about 35% of the containers lost in 2024 went overboard.

    What Anxin does: We quote the Suez and Cape routings separately when both are offered and apply the CINS stuffing checks strictly on Cape sailings.

  3. Import country

    Naturvårdsverket registration since January 2026

    Sweden's supplementary ordinance to the Battery Regulation (SFS 2025:813) has required battery producers to be registered with Naturvårdsverket since 1 January 2026. A producer responsibility organisation such as El-Kretsen can help with the filing, but the data remain the producer's responsibility.

    What Anxin does: We ask the Swedish importer to confirm the registration is in place before booking, and pass on battery chemistry and weight data it may need for reporting.

  4. Import country

    The ICS2 entry summary is due before loading in Lianyungang

    For Sundsvall, EU security pre-filing happens at the other end of the voyage: the ICS2 entry summary must reach the system 24 hours before the container is loaded in Lianyungang. No filing means no loading, and a missing EORI number is enough to reject it.

    What Anxin does: We collect the consignee's EORI number, an HS-level goods description and the house-bill parties at booking, and make sure the party filing the ENS has them before the Lianyungang cut-off.

  5. Import country

    Mercury, cadmium and lead limits in portable batteries

    Annex I of the Battery Regulation caps mercury at 0.0005 %, cadmium at 0.002 % and lead at 0.01 % by weight in portable batteries, and the lead limit has applied since 18 August 2024. Market surveillance in Sweden can ask the importer to show that the goods meet these limits.

    What Anxin does: We ask the manufacturer for its substance declaration or test report reference and file it with the shipping documents for the Sweden importer; we do not test batteries.

Before you book

Send the file once, complete

Most delays on this route start with a document that exists but does not match: a UN number, a model name or a package count that differs between the Lianyungang filings, the carrier booking and the Sweden import file. We check the three against each other before the booking is confirmed.

Carriers we book with

Our booking panel; availability on this lane and acceptance of the declared UN numbers are confirmed for each booking. It does not mean that a listed carrier runs a direct service on this route. Carrier choice depends on the trade lane, cargo classification and each carrier's dangerous-goods acceptance at booking. The final carrier is confirmed on the booking.

Questions

Questions about shipping from Lianyungang to Sundsvall

24 hours before the container is loaded in China, not before it reaches Sundsvall. Without it carriers do not load the box, and a filing without an EORI number is rejected.

Yes, but in the restriction period only ships of the required ice class and deadweight receive icebreaker assistance. Finland's agency publishes the restrictions on baltice.org, with exemption requests due at least three working days before arrival.

Under its Notice No. 1 of 2024, the cargo side submits the DG safe-carriage declaration, the inspector-signed packing certificate, the packaging inspection certificate where the goods are packaged, and a power of attorney.
