Shipping Fabric from Honolulu to Navegantes via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Clothing & apparel, select an inner sealed liner 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 shielded from water. 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, sealed packaging, 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 Correct HS codes 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 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 total loss and relies on accurate Invoices to validate claims, so always keep detailed records of what Textiles were shipped and their declared value.

Clothing and textiles should be packed in moisture-resistant materials to protect against humidity and water exposure during ocean transit. Additionally, items should be secured to prevent shifting and damage, and care should be taken to avoid overloading containers to maintain proper ventilation.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with Brazilian regulations for textiles. Proper classification of the goods under the Harmonized System (HS) code is also essential for customs clearance.
