Shipping Food from Antwerp to Manaus via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive snacks necessitates waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding Desiccant packs and using clear handling labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You may ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if every unit is properly cushioned and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using separate inner boxes for liquid items so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding dry food.

Most international shipments of processed food typically need itemized invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you could be asked for Health certificates and origin documentation, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For processed food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to Declare the full value of your beverages and record how goods are packed, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most shelf-stable food and standard snacks are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on heat sensitivity, especially for sensitive beverages, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Shipments of packaged food from Antwerp to Manaus require specific customs documentation, including a commercial invoice, packing list, and certificates of origin. Additionally, a health certificate may be needed to confirm that the packaged food meets Brazilian food safety regulations.

When shipping packaged food via ocean freight from Antwerp to Manaus, it is essential to ensure that the products are properly sealed and protected from moisture and temperature fluctuations.
