Shipping Fabric from Cleveland to Bogota via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, select an inner sealed liner for each unit or bundle, then place items in Sturdy cartons. Add Desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments, and ensure cartons are fully closed and taped to keep out humidity and splashes.

Most clothing can move in general-purpose containers or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are shielded from water. For Fabric rolls, We recommend palletized or racked loading to prevent Crushing, and in humid lanes, adding Container desiccants is advisable.

High-value designer clothing benefit from limited transfers, sealed packaging, and Palletization to avoid Soiling. Instruct handlers to keep Garments off the floor, avoid Sharp hooks, and not to Over-stack lightweight Clothing cartons.

Yes. Many countries require proper customs coding and clear fabric breakdown, plus manufacturing origin on documents for Textiles and apparel. Some trade agreements and quota systems still affect certain Textile categories, so check with your customs agent before exporting large volumes.

Insuring garments is strongly recommended, especially for high-value items or large wholesale orders. Cargo insurance can cover total loss and relies on accurate Invoices to validate claims, so always keep detailed records of what Textiles were shipped and their declared value.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance specific to textiles. Additionally, import permits may be needed for certain apparel items in Colombia.

Regulatory requirements include compliance with Colombia's customs regulations, which may involve tariffs, import duties, and adherence to labeling and safety standards for textiles. Importers should ensure that all products meet Colombian regulations to avoid delays at customs.
