Shipping Processed Food from Genoa to Shenzhen via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food demands waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding silica gel and using clear handling 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. Our logistics team recommends using separate inner boxes for Bottled drinks so that any leak does not damage surrounding dry food.

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 manufacturer declarations and origin documentation, 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 accurately declare values of your beverages and Document packaging standards, as insurers may assess 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. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on heat sensitivity, especially for Chocolate snacks, and planning transit to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be stored in a temperature-controlled environment during transit to ensure quality. It is also important to ensure that the packaging is secure and suitable for ocean freight to prevent damage from moisture and humidity.

Shipments of packaged food from Italy to China must comply with Chinese import regulations, which include obtaining necessary health certifications and ensuring that all labeling meets Chinese standards. Additionally, customs documentation must be accurately prepared to facilitate clearance at both ports.
