Shipping Dry Food from Foshan to Mira Loma via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive Dry food Requires waterproof protection such as Foil pouches inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding silica gel 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 Individually protected and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using Dividers for beverages so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding packaged groceries.

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

For Packaged food with medium fragility and mixed Snacks and beverages, most shippers choose All-risk cargo insurance that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to accurately declare values of your Packaged groceries and note your packing methods, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most Ambient food and standard Bottled drinks are shipped in Ambient conditions as long as you protect from temperature extremes. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on Maximum storage temperature, especially for oil-based dry food, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food should be transported in a temperature-controlled environment to prevent spoilage and maintain quality. It is important to ensure that the containers are sealed properly to avoid contamination, and that the packaging is robust enough to withstand the rigors of ocean transport.

Shipments of packaged food must comply with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including proper labeling and registration with the FDA. Additionally, importers must provide a prior notice to the FDA before the food arrives in the U.S., and ensure that the products meet U.S. safety standards.
