This route runs through Lianyungang port, then follows the monsoon-driven seas of Southeast Asia; at the far end is the port of Batangas.
In the Philippines the importer must be accredited in CPRS before any entry is lodged. 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
- Fog season Apr–Jul
- Lianyungang export
- Advance manifest
- CPRS accreditation
- Power bank marking
Route profile
How Lianyungang → Batangas differs from other lanes
Philippines
An advance manifest 24 or 48 hours before arrival, CPRS accreditation for importers, and a typhoon season that stops ports and feeders.
Where this route gets difficult
What to watch between Lianyungang and Batangas: 5 points
Loading port first, then the sea leg, then Batangas and the Philippines market.
- Origin port
Four cargo-side documents at Lianyungang, each checked
Under Lianyungang MSA's Notice No. 1 of 2024 the cargo side of a 'new three' filing needs four items: safe-carriage declaration, packing certificate signed by an inspector, packaging inspection certificate where the goods are packaged, and a power of attorney. A shorter list puts more weight on each paper, and the packing certificate still requires 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.
- Origin port
Fog season at Lianyungang
Between April and July sea fog is a major marine hazard in the Yellow and Bohai Seas, the China Meteorological Administration says. Lianyungang, like Qingdao, can see vessels held at anchor by fog, and moving a box to another vessel means amending its DG filings.
What Anxin does: In fog season we keep slack between stuffing and the DG cut-off and have the filing data ready to amend.
- Sea corridor
North-east monsoon winds in the Taiwan Strait
Routes from northern China to Batangas go through the Taiwan Strait, whose funnel effect makes winds 1-2 Beaufort levels stronger than outside. In winter and spring the north-east monsoon brings force 7 or more on about two-thirds of days, which is hard on a load that has not been braced.
What Anxin does: We ask for blocking and bracing photos before the container is closed in Lianyungang, checked against the CINS stuffing guidance for lithium batteries.
- Import country
The importer must be registered and accredited
No import declaration can be lodged unless the importer is registered in the Bureau of Customs' CPRS and accredited. A first-time importer at Batangas that has not finished this will see its battery container wait, and pay for the waiting.
What Anxin does: At quotation we ask a new importer to confirm its CPRS registration and accreditation before the first container is booked.
- Import country
The manifest is due 24 or 48 hours before arrival
Under CAO 15-2020 the carrier's manifest reaches the Bureau of Customs 24 hours before arrival at Batangas on voyages of 72 hours or less, or 48 hours before on longer ones; consolidated cargo has its own earlier deadlines. The DG description has to be settled before those cut-offs.
What Anxin does: We give the carrier or consolidator the final cargo and DG data before sailing from Lianyungang, so the Philippine manifest is filed complete.
Documents & compliance
What to have ready: Lianyungang to Batangas
These documents come from the shipper, the manufacturer and the importer. Anxin checks them against each other; it does not issue test reports, safety data sheets or import certificates.

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 Philippines 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.
Risk & mitigation
Risk table for Lianyungang → Batangas
| Risk | Where | Mitigation | Who acts |

| One of the four documents inconsistent with the others | Lianyungang MSA filing | Cross-check before submission | Anxin with the declarant |
| Entry cannot be lodged for an unaccredited importer | Philippine port of discharge | Accreditation checked at quotation | Importer |
Questions
Common questions on the Lianyungang → Batangas route
A February 2026 DTI draft would require PS or ICC marking with a 12-month transition; importers should follow it.
It waits or moves to the next vessel. The dangerous goods declaration has to be refiled for that vessel, which is why we check DG acceptance for a back-up sailing in typhoon months.
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.
