Shipping Clothing & Apparel from Tokyo to Ningbo via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive Clothing & apparel, choose an inner plastic sleeve for each unit or bundle, then place items in Sturdy cartons. Add silica gel for longer or ocean shipments, and ensure cartons are securely sealed to keep out humidity and splashes.

Most Textiles can move in dry vans or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are protected from moisture. For Fabric rolls, our team suggests palletized or racked loading to prevent edge damage, and in humid lanes, adding moisture-control liners is advisable.

High-value Fashion products benefit from reduced touchpoints, barcoded labels, and Palletization to avoid snagging. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid rough surfaces, and not to sit on lightweight fashion cartons.

Yes. Many countries require Correct HS codes and clear material composition, plus manufacturing origin on documents for Textiles and apparel. Some trade agreements and quota systems still affect certain fabric categories, so review local regulations before exporting large volumes.

Insuring Clothing & apparel is strongly recommended, especially for designer items or large wholesale orders. Cargo insurance can cover water damage and relies on accurate Invoices to validate claims, so always keep detailed records of what garments were shipped and their declared value.

When shipping clothing and textiles, it is important to ensure proper packaging to prevent damage from moisture and humidity during transit. Additionally, items should be secured to avoid shifting, which can lead to wrinkling or deformation. Using breathable materials for packaging can also help maintain the quality of the textiles.

The necessary documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and any required certificates of origin. Import regulations in China may also require specific customs declarations and compliance with product safety standards for textiles. It is essential to verify current customs requirements prior to shipping.
