Shipping Fabric from New York to Houston via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, select 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 securely sealed to keep out humidity and splashes.

Most clothing can move in general-purpose 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 limited transfers, sealed packaging, and use of roll containers to avoid Soiling. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid Sharp hooks, and not to crush lightweight Clothing cartons.

Insuring garments is strongly recommended, especially for high-value 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.

When shipping clothing and textiles, it is important to ensure that the cargo is properly packaged to prevent water damage and contamination. Additionally, textiles should be secured to avoid movement during transit, and appropriate measures should be taken to maintain ventilation to prevent mold growth.

The required documentation for shipping clothing and textiles includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading. Since both New York and Houston are within the United States, no additional customs documentation is needed for interstate shipping, but proper labeling and compliance with any applicable regulations for textiles should be ensured.
