Shipping Snacks from Foshan to Dallas-Fort Worth via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive Dry food demands moisture-resistant inner packaging such as laminated liners inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding Desiccant packs and using moisture-warning labels on all ambient food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You Can ship dry food and bottled drinks together if all items are securely packed and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using cell partitions for beverages so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding dry food.

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

For Packaged food with medium fragility and mixed dry food and bottled drinks, insurance providers typically recommend all-risks freight insurance that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to Declare the full value of your snacks and note your packing methods, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most Ambient food and standard beverages Can be shipped in standard dry vans as long as you protect from temperature extremes. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on temperature limits, especially for oil-based dry food, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and a phytosanitary certificate if applicable. Additionally, compliance with FDA regulations and a prior notice submission may be necessary for the import of packaged food products.

Packaged food should be properly sealed and stored in a temperature-controlled environment to maintain quality during transit. It is important to ensure that the packaging is robust enough to withstand ocean conditions and that all items comply with U.S. food safety standards.
