Shipping Garments from Penang to Vancouver via Ocean Freight

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