Lithium batteries for Sept-Îles go from northern Jiangsu through Lianyungang on the Yellow Sea. On the way they face a long voyage ending in the North Atlantic or the Gulf of St Lawrence, and they arrive at the port of Sept-Îles.

Canada adds an eManifest that closes 24 hours before loading and a CARM account that decides whether goods are released before duty is paid. This page sets out 5 points specific to this route, how Anxin handles each one and which documents to prepare.

What we need to start

  • Fog season Apr–Jul
  • Lianyungang export
  • eManifest cut-off
  • CARM account

Route profile

How Lianyungang → Sept-Îles differs from other lanes

Origin port

Lianyungang

Jiangsu's Yellow Sea port, with a simplified document list for 'new three' cargo since 2024 and its own guide for energy-storage units on break-bulk ships.

Import country

Canada

An eManifest filed 24 hours before loading, release-before-payment only with CARM security, and TDG conditions on the truck leg.

Where this route gets difficult

5 points to plan for on the Lianyungang → Sept-Îles route

In the order the cargo meets them: at the loading port, at sea, at Sept-Îles and at customs in Canada.

  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. Origin port

    Energy storage on break-bulk ships: Lianyungang's own rules

    Lianyungang MSA's June 2025 guide for ESS on break-bulk ships treats ESS cabinets as UN3480 and ESS containers as UN3536, recommends a remaining charge of 20–50%, and requires converters and monitoring to be powered off, series and parallel circuits disconnected, packages evenly spread with a low centre of gravity, and a safety meeting before the ship arrives.

    What Anxin does: For ESS units we confirm the UN number the unit ships under, get the state of charge and isolation steps in writing from the manufacturer, and join the pre-arrival safety meeting with the stowage details.

  3. Sea corridor

    Panama draft or Suez routing decides the first half

    Services to Sept-Îles run either via Panama, where the Neopanamax draft depends on Gatun Lake (a planned cut was postponed in September 2026), or via Suez and the Mediterranean, where Mediterranean services used the Red Sea 57% of the time in September 2026.

    What Anxin does: We ask the carrier which routing the service uses and quote the options separately.

  4. Import country

    English and French on consumer labels

    Canada's consumer packaging rules require most mandatory label information on prepackaged consumer products in both English and French. Only the dealer's name and address may be in one language, and imported goods that do not state their origin need 'imported by / importé par' before it.

    What Anxin does: For retail-packed goods going to Sept-Îles, we check the carton and retail-box artwork for the bilingual text before production is packed.

  5. Import country

    Québec's June 2025 French-labelling rules

    Since 1 June 2025, Québec lets recognised non-French trademarks stay untranslated on products, but any generic or descriptive words in them must appear in French on the product or a permanently attached medium. Stock made before that date can be sold until 1 June 2027.

    What Anxin does: We check product and packaging artwork for goods going to Sept-Îles for French versions of descriptive wording before the order is packed.

Before you book

Match the details first

We line up UN numbers, model names and package counts across the Lianyungang filings, the booking with the carrier and the documents for Canada before the booking is confirmed, so that a mismatch is fixed at origin rather than discovered at Sept-Îles.

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

Common questions on the Lianyungang → Sept-Îles route

Yes. TDG s. 9.3 allows IMDG documentation and marks for an international consignment going to or from a port, provided the document is legible in English or French and carries a 24-hour number.

Yes, but the Coast Guard's icebreaking season on the Gulf of St Lawrence and the river typically runs from December to May, and vessels must report their ice class to ECAREG CANADA. We confirm the vessel's ice capability when booking.

Its June 2025 break-bulk ESS guide recommends 20–50% remaining charge, with converters and monitoring off and circuits disconnected.
