Railway Delivery Is Available for SURFADOL® Additives


CHINA RAILWAY Express (abbr: CR EXPRESS), the world’s longest freight railway line, started its operation 11 years ago. ACME is a late passenger, though we began our application for the certificates of railway transportation for SURFADOL® Additives in early 2019. We finally got the certificates in March 2021, however, we are only able to start railway shipments until today.

  2. Simplify customs clearance
  3. Supported by countries along the Belt and Road
  4. Chongqing is the only municipality in western China, also the economic center of upper Yangtze River
