Bottled (Bottle) is a common packaging term in foreign trade, referring to the packaging of liquid, semi-fluid, or powdered goods into containers such as glass bottles or plastic bottles. Application scenarios include food, beverages, chemicals, cosmetics, etc. Precautions: 1. The bottle material (e.g., glass, PET), capacity, and cap type must be specified; 2. Bottled goods usually require consideration of leak-proofing and shatter-proofing, and may need pallets or foam padding during transportation; 3. Unlike 'canned' (Can) or 'drums' (Drum), bottled packaging is more suitable for small-capacity retail packaging; 4. In trade contracts, the specific specifications of 'bottled' should be stated, such as '500ml per bottle, 24 bottles per carton'. As opposed to 'bulk' (Bulk), bottled packaging is retail packaging, which directly affects tariffs, transportation costs, and customs clearance requirements. Foreign trade practitioners should pay attention to the destination country's regulations on environmental protection, labeling, etc. for bottled containers.

2. Since bottled products are fragile, it is recommended to use pallets and stretch film during transportation to reduce the damage rate. (Note: Reminder of transportation precautions for bottled goods)
