Frequently Asked Questions — Europe
Which WIS Biotech products have EU E-numbers?
Relevant designations include E574 for gluconic acid, E575 for GDL, E576 for sodium gluconate, E577 for potassium gluconate, E578 for calcium gluconate, and E579 for ferrous gluconate. Zinc gluconate does not carry E579. Authorization, purity criteria, use level, and labeling depend on the substance, finished-product category, and destination market; confirm the applicable requirements before purchase.
Are your industrial grade products REACH-compliant?
Yes. Our industrial grade sodium gluconate (used for concrete admixtures and water treatment) is registered under REACH for use in EU markets. We can supply REACH compliance letters and technical documentation required by EU industrial buyers and downstream users.
Which European ports does WIS Biotech ship to?
Primary EU destinations are Rotterdam (Netherlands), Hamburg (Germany), Antwerp (Belgium), and Felixstowe (UK). We also ship to Genoa, Valencia, Le Havre, Gdansk, and other ports based on customer location. Door-to-door DDP service is available across most EU member states.
What is the typical lead time from China to Europe?
Sea freight transit time from Qingdao or Shanghai to North European ports (Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp) is typically 28–35 days. Mediterranean ports take 22–28 days. Combined with production lead time, total order-to-arrival is roughly 35–50 days for stock items.
Do you provide non-GMO and BSE/TSE-free declarations required in the EU?
Yes. We provide non-GMO declarations, BSE/TSE-free statements, allergen-free declarations, and origin certificates required by EU food manufacturers and supplement brands. Our gluconate mineral salts are produced from glucose derived from non-GMO corn and cassava starches.
