Shipping Beverages from Atlanta to Houston via Ground Freight

Moisture-sensitive Dry food demands waterproof protection such as laminated liners inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding silica gel and using clear handling labels on all ambient food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You Can ship dry food and bottled drinks together if every unit is securely packed and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using separate inner boxes for beverages so that any leak does not damage surrounding packaged groceries.

Most international shipments of Ambient food will require itemized invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of beverages, you could be asked for manufacturer declarations and origin documentation, especially for beverages.

For Packaged food with medium fragility and mixed dry food and bottled drinks, most shippers choose all-risks freight insurance that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to accurately declare values of your beverages and note your packing methods, as insurers may assess packaging quality when processing claims.

Most Ambient food and standard beverages are shipped in standard dry vans as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on heat sensitivity, especially for oil-based dry food, and planning transit to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food should be transported in a climate-controlled environment to prevent spoilage and maintain quality. It is important to ensure that the cargo is secured properly to avoid shifting during transit, which could damage the packaging. Additionally, monitoring for potential contamination from other freight is crucial.

Seasonal temperature fluctuations can impact the integrity of packaged food. During hotter months, extra precautions should be taken to ensure that temperature-sensitive items are kept within safe limits. Conversely, during colder months, it is important to protect items from freezing, particularly for products that may be affected by low temperatures.
