Shipping Processed Food from Itapoa to Jacksonville via Ocean Freight

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

You Can ship Snacks and beverages together if all items are properly cushioned and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using separate inner boxes for beverages so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding packaged groceries.

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

For Packaged food with medium fragility and mixed Snacks and beverages, insurance providers typically recommend comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to Declare the full value of your beverages and note your packing methods, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most Ambient food and standard Bottled drinks are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you protect from temperature extremes. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on heat sensitivity, especially for oil-based dry food, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be stowed in a manner that prevents damage and contamination during ocean transport. It is essential to maintain stable temperatures and humidity levels, as well as to ensure that the cargo is secured to prevent shifting.

Exporting packaged food requires compliance with both Brazilian export regulations and U.S. import regulations. This includes obtaining necessary health certifications, ensuring products meet U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards, and proper labeling in accordance with U.S. regulations.

We follow industry best practices and relevant data protection regulations for international shipping and technology platforms, including GDPR and CCPA where applicable.
