From Lianyungang to Oxelosund, cargo moves from northern Jiangsu through Lianyungang on the Yellow Sea, crosses a long Europe voyage extended through the Danish straits into the Baltic, and is discharged at the port of Oxelosund.
Sweden has required producer registration with Naturvårdsverket since January 2026. The 5 points below are particular to this lane; each comes with what we do and the paperwork it touches.

Route profile
What sets Lianyungang → Oxelosund apart
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.
Where this route gets difficult
5 points to plan for on the Lianyungang → Oxelosund route
In the order the cargo meets them: at the loading port, at sea, at Oxelosund and at customs in Sweden.
- Origin port
Yellow Sea fog from April to July
The China Meteorological Administration describes sea fog as a major marine hazard in the Yellow and Bohai Seas, mainly from April to July. At Lianyungang, as at Qingdao, fog can hold vessels at anchor, and a changed vessel means amended 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
Ice-class restrictions in the northern Baltic
Every winter Finland's Transport Infrastructure Agency sets traffic restrictions for its ports: only ships of a stated ice class and deadweight get icebreaker assistance. Exemption requests must be in at least three working days before arrival, and the restrictions for the Baltic are published on baltice.org. A feeder without the right ice class may not be allowed to call at Oxelosund in the restriction period.
What Anxin does: For winter shipments we check the restrictions in force on baltice.org for Oxelosund and ask the carrier to confirm that the final feeder has the required ice class before we book.
- Import country
CE marking and a declaration of conformity in the right language
The importer in Sweden carries the check: CE marking on the battery and an EU declaration of conformity, translated into the language Sweden asks for, have both been required since 18 August 2024 for batteries entering the EU market.
What Anxin does: We ask the manufacturer in China for the declaration of conformity and a photo of the CE marking on the battery or its packaging before loading, and pass them to the Sweden importer. We check that the documents exist and match the goods; we do not assess conformity.
- Import country
Swedish producer register at Naturvårdsverket
Since 1 January 2026 battery producers in Sweden must be registered with Naturvårdsverket under the supplementary ordinance SFS 2025:813. Producer responsibility organisations such as El-Kretsen can assist with the filing, though the producer stays responsible for the data.
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.
- Import country
Safety documentation for stationary storage systems
Since 18 August 2024 a stationary battery energy storage system placed on the EU market must be safe in normal operation, and its technical documentation must show testing against the Annex V safety parameters, from thermal shock and short-circuit protection to over-discharge and thermal propagation. Buyers of ESS cabinets in Sweden increasingly ask for that file before delivery.
What Anxin does: For ESS cabinets and racks bound for Sweden we ask the manufacturer to confirm that the Annex V test documentation exists before booking and note the answer in the shipment file.

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.
Risk & mitigation
What could go wrong from Lianyungang to Oxelosund, and who acts
| Risk | Where | Mitigation | Who acts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feeder lacks the ice class required under winter restrictions | Northern Baltic, winter | Ice class confirmed at booking | Carrier, checked by Anxin |
| Producer not yet registered with Naturvårdsverket | Importer in Sweden | Registration confirmed before booking | Importer |
| Declaration of conformity missing or not in the required language | Importer in Sweden | Declaration and CE photo collected before loading | Manufacturer / importer |
| Storage system delivered without Annex V test file | Buyer in Sweden | Test documentation confirmed before booking | Manufacturer |
Questions
Common questions on the Lianyungang → Oxelosund route
Yes. Since 1 January 2026 producers, which includes importers placing batteries on the Swedish market, must be registered with Naturvårdsverket under Ordinance 2025:813.
Often, but it depends on the service. The Baltic is reached through the Danish straits, and we ask the carrier to name any transhipment port and confirm DG acceptance for each vessel.
Its June 2025 break-bulk ESS guide recommends 20–50% remaining charge, with converters and monitoring off and circuits disconnected.
