Shipping Garments from Melbourne to Xiaolan via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, Use an inner sealed liner for each unit or bundle, then place items in quality shipping boxes. Add Desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments, and ensure cartons are fully closed and taped to keep out humidity and splashes.

Most clothing can move in Standard dry containers or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are shielded from water. For bulk textiles, We recommend palletized or racked loading to prevent Crushing, and in humid lanes, adding Container desiccants is advisable.

High-value designer clothing benefit from Minimal handling, sealed packaging, and use of roll containers to avoid Soiling. Instruct handlers to keep Garments off the floor, avoid Sharp hooks, and not to crush lightweight fashion cartons.

Yes. Many countries require proper customs coding and clear Fiber content, plus manufacturing origin on documents for garments. Some trade agreements and quota systems still affect certain Textile categories, so check with your customs agent before exporting large volumes.

Insuring garments is strongly recommended, especially for Branded items or large wholesale orders. Cargo insurance can cover total loss and relies on accurate SKU manifests to validate claims, so always keep detailed records of what Textiles were shipped and their declared value.

The required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary certificates of origin or quality compliance specific to textiles. Additionally, import permits may be needed for certain textile products when entering China.

Seasonal considerations include potential weather disruptions during the Australian winter months (June to August) and the peak shipping season before major Chinese holidays, such as the Lunar New Year, which may affect port congestion and customs processing times.
