Shipping Fabric from Surabaya to Montevideo via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, Use an inner plastic sleeve for each unit or bundle, then place items in quality shipping boxes. Add silica gel for longer or ocean shipments, and ensure cartons are securely sealed 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 bulk textiles, our team suggests palletized or racked loading to prevent edge damage, and in humid lanes, adding Container desiccants is advisable.

High-value designer clothing benefit from Minimal handling, barcoded labels, and use of roll containers to avoid snagging. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid Sharp hooks, and not to crush lightweight fashion cartons.

Yes. Many countries require proper customs coding and clear Fiber content, plus manufacturing origin on documents for garments. Some trade agreements and quota systems still affect certain Textile categories, so review local regulations 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 SKU manifests to validate claims, so always keep detailed records of what garments were shipped and their declared value.

When shipping clothing and textiles via ocean freight, it is important to ensure proper packaging to prevent damage from moisture and humidity. Additionally, textiles should be adequately labeled and organized to facilitate customs inspections upon arrival in Montevideo.

Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any necessary certificates of origin or compliance with Uruguay's import regulations for textiles.
