Shipping Apparel from Colombo to San Jose via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Clothing & apparel, choose an inner sealed liner for each unit or bundle, then place items in Sturdy cartons. 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 Fabric rolls, 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 Palletization to avoid snagging. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid rough surfaces, and not to sit on lightweight Clothing cartons.

Yes. Many countries require Correct HS codes and clear material composition, 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 Clothing & apparel is strongly recommended, especially for designer 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 garments were shipped and their declared value.

Clothing and textiles should be properly packaged to prevent damage from moisture and humidity during ocean transit. Use waterproof materials and ensure that garments are folded neatly to avoid creasing. Additionally, consider using breathable packaging to prevent mildew.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any certificates of origin if applicable. Ensure that all textiles comply with Costa Rican import regulations, including labeling and fiber content disclosures.
