Shipping Fashions from Atlanta to Portland via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Clothing & apparel, choose an inner sealed liner for each unit or bundle, then place items in double-wall boxes. Add silica gel for longer or ocean shipments, and ensure cartons are fully closed and taped to keep out humidity and splashes.

Most Textiles can move in dry vans or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are shielded from water. For bulk textiles, our team suggests palletized or racked loading to prevent edge damage, and in humid lanes, adding moisture-control liners is advisable.

High-value Fashion products benefit from reduced touchpoints, sealed packaging, and use of cages to avoid snagging. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid rough surfaces, and not to crush lightweight Clothing cartons.

Yes. Many countries require Correct HS codes and clear material composition, plus manufacturing origin on documents for clothing & textiles. Some trade agreements and quota systems still affect certain Textile categories, so check with your customs agent before exporting large volumes.

Insuring Clothing & apparel is strongly recommended, especially for designer items or large wholesale orders. Cargo insurance can cover total loss and relies on accurate packing lists to validate claims, so always keep detailed records of what garments were shipped and their declared value.

When shipping clothing and textiles, it is important to ensure that the cargo is properly packaged to prevent damage from moisture and physical impacts during transit. Using waterproof materials and protective padding can help maintain the quality of garments. Additionally, securing the cargo in containers that allow for air circulation can minimize the risk of mold and mildew during the ocean journey.

The shipping of clothing and textiles within the United States requires a bill of lading, commercial invoice, and any necessary export or import permits, though regulatory requirements are minimal for domestic shipments. It is essential to ensure that all documentation accurately reflects the contents and value of the shipment to facilitate smooth customs clearance at the destination port.

No, we use in-house customs brokerage with automation to reduce errors and accelerate clearance, rather than outsourcing to third-party brokers with outdated, manual documentation processes.
