Shipping Textiles from San Juan to Newark via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, select an inner sealed liner 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 general-purpose containers or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are shielded from water. For Fabric rolls, We recommend palletized or racked loading to prevent Crushing, and in humid lanes, adding Container desiccants is advisable.
