Shipping Fashion Products from Charleston to New Orleans via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, choose an inner sealed liner for each unit or bundle, then place items in quality shipping boxes. Add Desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments, and ensure cartons are securely sealed to keep out humidity and splashes.

Most clothing can move in dry vans or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are shielded from water. For bulk textiles, We recommend palletized or racked loading to prevent edge damage, and in humid lanes, adding Container desiccants is advisable.
