Shipping Garments from Colon to Vitoria via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, choose an inner plastic sleeve for each unit or bundle, then place items in double-wall boxes. Add moisture absorbers 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 protected from moisture. For Fabric rolls, most carriers recommend palletized or racked loading to prevent edge damage, and in humid lanes, adding Container desiccants is advisable.

High-value designer clothing benefit from reduced touchpoints, barcoded labels, and use of cages to avoid creasing. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid Sharp hooks, and not to crush lightweight fashion cartons.

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

When shipping clothing and textiles, it is essential to ensure they are packed properly to prevent damage from moisture and contamination during ocean freight. Use waterproof packaging and consider using desiccants to absorb humidity. Additionally, ensure that textiles are not tightly packed to allow for air circulation, which can help prevent mold and mildew.

Required documentation for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance. Importers in Brazil may also need to provide specific information regarding the classification of textiles under the Mercosur Common Nomenclature (NCM) to ensure proper customs clearance.
