You Can ship dry food and bottled drinks together if every unit is properly cushioned and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using cell partitions for liquid items so that any leak does not damage surrounding dry food.

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 snacks, you could be asked for manufacturer declarations and certificates of origin, especially for animal-derived ingredients.
