Moisture-sensitive Dry food necessitates A sealed inner barrier such as Foil pouches inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding silica gel and using “Keep Dry” labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You Can ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if Each item is Individually protected and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using Dividers for liquid items so that any leak does not damage surrounding packaged groceries.

Most international shipments of Ambient food typically need Commercial invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of Food, you could be asked for manufacturer declarations and Proof of origin, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For Packaged food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, We recommend All-risk cargo insurance that includes damage from moisture and breakage.

Packaged food should be stored in a temperature-controlled environment to maintain quality during ocean freight. Additionally, the packaging must be durable to withstand potential moisture exposure during transit.
