Shipping Clothing from Dalian to Long Beach via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, select an inner plastic sleeve for each unit or bundle, then place items in Sturdy cartons. 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 general-purpose containers or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are protected from moisture. For Fabric rolls, We recommend palletized or racked loading to prevent edge damage, and in humid lanes, adding Container desiccants is advisable.

High-value designer clothing benefit from limited transfers, barcoded labels, and Palletization to avoid Soiling. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid Sharp hooks, and not to sit on 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 review local regulations before exporting large volumes.

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

The required documentation typically includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance for textiles. Importers must also ensure compliance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, which may include additional documentation for textiles to verify adherence to safety and labeling standards.

Clothing and textiles should be properly packaged to prevent damage from moisture, mildew, and physical stress during transit. It is advisable to use waterproof materials for packaging and to avoid overloading containers to ensure the garments remain in good condition upon arrival at Long Beach.
