Shipping Snacks from Guangzhou to Ningbo via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food demands waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding silica gel and using “Keep Dry” 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 bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using Dividers for Bottled drinks so that any leak does not damage surrounding packaged groceries.

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 might also need manufacturer declarations and Proof of origin, 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 spoilage and contamination. Be sure to accurately declare values of your Packaged groceries 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 protect from temperature extremes. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on Maximum storage temperature, especially for Chocolate snacks, and planning transit to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be kept in a controlled environment to maintain quality. Proper temperature controls and humidity levels should be monitored throughout the journey to prevent spoilage. Additionally, the cargo should be secured to prevent movement during transit, and packaging should be robust to withstand ocean conditions.

Required documentation includes a Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and any relevant health certificates or food safety compliance documents. It is essential to ensure that all paperwork adheres to local regulations and standards for food safety in China.
