Shipping Fashion Products from Hamburg to Santos via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Clothing & apparel, 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 fully closed and taped to keep out humidity and splashes.

Most Textiles 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 Fashion products 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 Over-stack lightweight fashion cartons.

Yes. Many countries require Correct HS codes and clear fabric breakdown, plus Country of 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 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.
