Shipping Fashion Products from Genoa to Charleston via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, Use 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 Standard dry 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 moisture-control liners is advisable.

High-value designer clothing benefit from Minimal handling, barcoded labels, and Palletization to avoid Soiling. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid rough surfaces, and not to crush lightweight Clothing cartons.
