Shipping Packaged Groceries from Dalian to Ningbo via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive Dry food Requires waterproof protection such as laminated liners inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding Desiccant packs and using “Keep Dry” labels on all ambient food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You Can ship Snacks and beverages together if every unit is securely packed and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using Dividers for beverages so that any leak does not damage surrounding dry food.

Most international shipments of Ambient food Require itemized invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of beverages, you might also need Health certificates and Proof of origin, especially for beverages.

For Packaged food with medium fragility and mixed Snacks and beverages, most shippers choose all-risks freight insurance that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to Declare the full value of your Packaged groceries and note your packing methods, as insurers may assess packaging quality when processing claims.

Most Ambient food and standard Bottled drinks are shipped in standard dry vans as long as you protect from temperature extremes. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on Maximum storage temperature, especially for oil-based dry food, and planning transit to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be handled with care to prevent damage and contamination during ocean freight. It should be stored in a clean, dry environment, and protected from moisture and extreme temperatures. Proper ventilation and securing of cargo are essential to maintain the integrity of the products.
