Shipping Fashion Products from Manila to Mexico City via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Clothing & apparel, select 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 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 bulk textiles, We recommend palletized or racked loading to prevent Crushing, and in humid lanes, adding Container desiccants is advisable.

High-value Fashion products benefit from limited transfers, barcoded labels, and use of cages to avoid Soiling. Instruct handlers to keep Garments off the floor, avoid Sharp hooks, and not to crush lightweight fashion cartons.

When shipping clothing and textiles via ocean freight, it is essential to ensure that the items are properly packed to avoid damage from moisture and saltwater exposure. Using waterproof packaging and including desiccants can help protect the goods during transit. Additionally, proper labeling and documentation are necessary to avoid issues during customs clearance.

The documentation required for customs includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance. It is important to ensure that the commercial invoice accurately reflects the nature of the goods, including their classification under the Harmonized System (HS) codes for textiles and apparel.
