Shipping Snacks from Bangkok to Honolulu via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food demands waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding drying agents and using clear handling labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You are allowed to ship dry food and bottled drinks together if every unit is properly cushioned and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. Most carriers recommend using separate inner boxes for liquid items so that any leak does not damage surrounding dry food.

Most international shipments of packaged groceries will require itemized invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you might also need free-sale certificates and origin documentation, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed dry food and bottled drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to list realistic replacement values of your beverages and record how goods are packed, as insurers may assess packaging quality when processing claims.

Most processed food and standard beverages are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you protect from temperature extremes. Most carriers recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on heat sensitivity, especially for sensitive beverages, and planning transit to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be handled with care to prevent damage during transit. It is essential to ensure that the products are securely packaged to withstand the ocean environment, including potential exposure to moisture and temperature fluctuations. Proper ventilation is also important to prevent spoilage.

All packaged food must comply with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including proper labeling and ingredient disclosure. Additionally, shipments must be accompanied by necessary documentation, such as a bill of lading, commercial invoice, and any required certificates of origin or health certificates.
