Shipping Ambient Food from Izmir to Rio Grande via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food necessitates moisture-resistant inner packaging such as laminated liners inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding Desiccant packs and using clear handling labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You are allowed to ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if all items are securely packed and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using separate inner boxes for liquid items so that any leak does not damage surrounding packaged groceries.

Most international shipments of packaged groceries typically need 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 origin documentation, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, insurance providers typically recommend all-risks freight insurance that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to Declare the full value of your beverages and record how goods are packed, as insurers may assess packaging quality when processing claims.

Most processed food and standard snacks Can be shipped in standard dry vans as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on heat sensitivity, especially for sensitive beverages, and planning transit to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be stored in a climate-controlled environment to prevent spoilage, and it should be properly secured to avoid damage during transit. Additionally, compliance with international food safety standards is essential to ensure the integrity of the product.

Shipments of packaged food must comply with Brazilian health regulations, including obtaining the necessary import permits and ensuring that products meet the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture's standards. Documentation such as a phytosanitary certificate may also be required to verify the product's safety and quality.
