Shipping Fashion Products from Xiaolan to Ningbo via Ocean Freight

For moisture-sensitive fashion products, Use an inner plastic sleeve 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 Standard dry containers or regular parcel cartons, as long as they are protected from moisture. For Fabric rolls, We recommend 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 Palletization to avoid Soiling. Instruct handlers to keep apparel off the floor, avoid Sharp hooks, and not to Over-stack lightweight fashion cartons.

When shipping clothing and textiles, it is essential to ensure that the cargo is properly packed to prevent damage from moisture and saltwater exposure during transit. Use waterproof materials for packaging and ensure that garments are folded neatly to avoid creasing. Additionally, consider using climate-controlled containers if the textiles are sensitive to temperature fluctuations.

For shipping clothing and textiles within China, the required documentation typically includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant customs declarations.
