Shipping Clothing from Le Havre to Charlotte via Ocean Freight

Most clothing can move in Standard dry 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 designer clothing benefit from Minimal handling, sealed packaging, and Palletization to avoid Soiling. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid Sharp hooks, and not to Over-stack lightweight Clothing cartons.
