Shipping Apparel from Dalian to Newark via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, Use an inner plastic sleeve for each unit or bundle, then place items in double-wall boxes. 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 Standard dry containers or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are protected from moisture. For bulk textiles, 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 Minimal handling, barcoded labels, and use of cages to avoid Soiling. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid Sharp hooks, and not to Over-stack lightweight Clothing cartons.

Yes. Many countries require proper customs coding and clear Fiber content, plus manufacturing origin on documents for clothing & textiles. Some trade agreements and quota systems still affect certain Textile categories, so review local regulations before exporting large volumes.

Clothing and textiles should be packed in moisture-resistant materials to prevent damage during transit. It's also important to use appropriate dunnage to avoid shifting and crushing of the cargo. Additionally, items should be labeled clearly to facilitate customs inspections.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with U.S. regulations for textiles. Importers in the U.S. must also comply with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations.
