Shipping Dry Food from Barcelona to Mundra via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food demands waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding Desiccant packs and using moisture-warning labels on all Packaged groceries 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 beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using cell partitions for Bottled drinks so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding Snacks.

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 could be asked for Health certificates and certificates of origin, especially for Bottled drinks.

For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed dry food and bottled drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to Declare the full value of your snacks and Document packaging standards, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

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

Packaged food must be stored in a temperature-controlled environment during transit to prevent spoilage. Proper packaging is essential to protect against moisture and contamination. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the food products comply with both Spanish and Indian food safety regulations.

Required documentation includes a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and a phytosanitary certificate if applicable. Additionally, import permits may be necessary for certain types of packaged food to ensure compliance with Indian customs regulations.
