Shipping Dry Food from Bangkok to Teoloyucan via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food necessitates moisture-resistant inner packaging such as laminated liners inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding Desiccant packs and using “Keep Dry” labels on all Packaged groceries shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You are allowed to ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if all items are securely packed and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using Dividers for Bottled drinks so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding Snacks.

Most international shipments of packaged groceries typically need detailed invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of beverages, you could be asked for Health certificates and Proof of origin, especially for Bottled drinks.

For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, insurance providers typically recommend all-risks freight insurance that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to Declare the full value of your Packaged groceries and Document packaging standards, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most processed food and standard snacks are shipped in standard dry vans as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on Maximum storage temperature, especially for Chocolate snacks, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be handled with care to prevent damage and contamination. It is crucial to ensure proper ventilation in shipping containers to maintain the integrity of the food products. Temperature control may be necessary for certain types of packaged food, even if they are shelf-stable.

The shipment requires a commercial invoice, packing list, and a certificate of origin. Additionally, a sanitary or health certificate may be needed to comply with Mexican regulations for food imports, ensuring the packaged food meets safety and quality standards.
