Shipping Clothing from Port Everglades to Minneapolis via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, select an inner plastic sleeve 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 protected from moisture. For bulk textiles, We recommend palletized or racked loading to prevent edge damage, and in humid lanes, adding moisture-control liners is advisable.

High-value designer clothing benefit from limited transfers, barcoded labels, and use of roll containers to avoid Soiling. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid rough surfaces, and not to sit on lightweight Clothing cartons.

When shipping Clothing & Textiles, it is important to ensure that the items are packed to prevent moisture damage, as ocean freight can expose them to humid conditions. Additionally, garments should be properly folded or hung to avoid creasing and damage during transit.
