Shipping Snacks from Izmir to New York via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive snacks Requires moisture-resistant inner packaging such as laminated liners inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding Desiccant packs and using moisture-warning labels on all ambient food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

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

Most international shipments of processed food Require detailed invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of beverages, you could be asked for Health certificates and certificates of origin, especially for beverages.

For processed food with medium fragility and mixed Snacks and beverages, insurance providers typically recommend all-risks freight insurance that includes damage from moisture and breakage. 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 shelf-stable food and standard Bottled drinks Can be shipped in standard dry vans as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. 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.

Packaged food must be stored in a temperature-controlled environment during transit to prevent spoilage. It is important to ensure that the containers are sealed properly to avoid contamination and maintain product integrity. Additionally, compliance with food safety standards is crucial throughout the shipping process.

Shipments of packaged food must comply with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including prior notice requirements. Importers must ensure that the products are labeled correctly and meet all safety standards. Additionally, phytosanitary certificates or other documentation may be required to confirm that the food products are safe for consumption.
