Shipping Textiles from Mombasa to Prince Rupert via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, Use an inner sealed liner for each unit or bundle, then place items in double-wall boxes. Add Desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments, and ensure cartons are securely sealed 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 edge damage, and in humid lanes, adding Container desiccants is advisable.

High-value designer clothing benefit from Minimal handling, sealed packaging, and use of cages to avoid Soiling. Instruct handlers to keep apparel 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 clothing & textiles. Some trade agreements and quota systems still affect certain Textile categories, so review local regulations 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 packing lists 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 compliance with Canadian regulations on textiles.

Clothing and textiles should be properly packaged to avoid damage from moisture and saltwater exposure. It is also important to ensure that the cargo is secured to prevent shifting during transit.
