    Industrial Packaging Sourcing from China

    IBC totes, plastic and steel drums, jerry cans, pallets, and FIBC bulk bags — sourced from verified factories with UN/DOT and food-grade certification, inspected to AQL 2.5, and delivered DDP. One team between the factory and your warehouse.

    Quick Answer

    Importing industrial packaging from China means sourcing bulk containers — IBC totes, plastic and steel drums, jerry cans, plastic pallets, and FIBC bulk bags — directly from verified manufacturers instead of local distributors, at a fraction of the price. Trade Entrust confirms the spec and certification you need (UN/DOT for dangerous goods, food-grade FDA/EU, or load ratings), verifies the factory, approves samples and test documents, inspects every batch to AQL 2.5, and optimises the container load before arranging DDP freight to your warehouse — with the whole order tracked in the ImportOS.ai portal.

    What we source

    Industrial packaging we import

    From a single SKU to a mixed container — new, rebottled, and certified formats.

    IBC totes (1000L)

    Caged 1000L intermediate bulk containers — new, rebottled, and reconditioned. Standard, UN-certified, and food-grade (FDA) options on EUR or composite pallet bases.

    Plastic & steel drums

    HDPE drums, tight-head and open-top, plus steel drums in 200L/210L. UN/DOT marking for hazardous and dangerous-goods shipping where required.

    Jerry cans & pails

    Stackable HDPE jerry cans (5–30L) and plastic pails with tamper-evident lids — food, chemical, and lubricant grades.

    Plastic pallets

    Nestable, rackable, and hygienic pallets — export-ready (no ISPM-15 fumigation), with custom load ratings and colours.

    FIBC bulk bags

    Type A–D builder/jumbo bags for powders and aggregates, including anti-static (Type C/D) and food-grade liners.

    Custom & spare parts

    Valves, caps, gaskets, IBC cages, and replacement bottles — matched to your existing fleet so refills and repairs stay simple.

    How it works

    From spec sheet to your loading dock

    Five managed steps — you approve at each gate, we handle the rest.

    Step 1

    Confirm spec & compliance

    We lock material grade, capacity, valve/closure type, pallet base, and the certifications you need — UN/DOT, food-grade (FDA/EU), or stacking-load ratings — before sourcing begins.

    Step 2

    Verify the factory

    We select from vetted manufacturers, confirm their certifications and capacity in person, and negotiate FOB pricing — no hidden trading-company markup.

    Step 3

    Sample & certify

    You approve a physical sample and the supporting test/compliance documents (UN markings, food-contact, drop and stack tests) before mass production starts.

    Step 4

    Inspect to AQL 2.5

    Pre-shipment inspection on every run — capacity, wall thickness, leak/seal integrity, and marking accuracy — with a photo report before you release payment.

    Step 5

    Container loading & freight

    We optimise the load plan (IBCs are volume-not-weight cargo), arrange sea freight, and handle customs and DDP delivery to your warehouse — tracked live in your portal.

    Importing industrial packaging — FAQ

    Yes. For hazardous or dangerous-goods contents we source UN/DOT-marked IBC totes, drums, and jerry cans and verify the certification and marking before shipment. We confirm the required packing group and UN code with you up front so the containers are compliant for your contents and destination, and the marking is checked during pre-shipment inspection.
