Shipping Apparel from Colombo to Guayaquil via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Clothing & apparel, 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 fully closed and taped to keep out humidity and splashes.
