Shipping Clothing from Nanjing to Montreal via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, Use an inner plastic sleeve 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 clothing can move in Standard dry containers or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are protected from moisture. For Fabric rolls, We recommend palletized or racked loading to prevent Crushing, and in humid lanes, adding moisture-control liners is advisable.

High-value designer clothing benefit from Minimal handling, barcoded labels, and Palletization to avoid Soiling. Instruct handlers to keep Garments off the floor, avoid rough surfaces, and not to Over-stack lightweight Clothing cartons.

Yes. Many countries require proper customs coding and clear Fiber content, plus Country of 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 garments is strongly recommended, especially for Branded items or large wholesale orders. Cargo insurance can cover water damage and relies on accurate Invoices to validate claims, so always keep detailed records of what Textiles were shipped and their declared value.

The required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and customs declaration. Additionally, a Certificate of Origin may be needed to comply with trade agreements.
