China's beverage, dairy and confectionery manufacturers serve the world's largest food market and increasingly source Mediterranean and Anatolian fruit lines — apricot, sour cherry, fig, pomegranate — that domestic production does not cover. Scala Nuova supplies Fruit Shells to Chinese buyers from Türkiye, sourced at origin and documented for GACC clearance.
Since Decree 248 took effect in 2022, exporting to China requires the originating facility to hold General Administration of Customs China (GACC) registration; our supply network operates from GACC-registered facilities, with per-lot Certificate of Analysis, official health certificate and full traceability, and quality systems running to FSSC 22000, BRC, IFS and ISO 22000.
Transit from Mersin or Istanbul to Shanghai, Ningbo-Zhoushan or Qingdao runs roughly twenty-eight to thirty-five days via the Suez Canal and Malacca Strait. Aseptic drums travel ambient, which suits the long leg well; IQF fruit moves in reefer at −18°C with continuous temperature logging.

Scala Nuova supplies frozen natural fruit shells as ready-to-fill serving vessels for foodservice, patisserie and ice-cream makers: hollowed pineapple, coconut, orange and melon shells. Cleaned and frozen ready to fill with ice cream, sorbet, mousse and plated desserts, they give gelaterias, restaurants, HORECA and dessert manufacturers a striking, sustainable, biodegradable natural presentation. Supplied frozen in whole and half formats to specification, each lot with COA and full specification.
Fruit Shells moves to China under an unbroken cold chain: the product travels in reefer containers from our facility to your cold store, never leaving its temperature band. On this lane that makes reefer capacity and plug-in time at the port — not sailing frequency — the things to plan a programme around.
