Shipping Food from Jacksonville to Baltimore via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food Requires moisture-resistant inner packaging such as laminated liners inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding silica gel and using moisture-warning labels on all ambient food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You are allowed to ship Snacks and beverages together if all items are securely packed and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using cell partitions for beverages so that any leak does not damage surrounding packaged groceries.

Most international shipments of packaged groceries Require detailed invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of beverages, you might also need manufacturer declarations and certificates of origin, especially for beverages.

For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed Snacks and beverages, insurance providers typically recommend all-risks freight insurance that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to accurately declare values of your snacks and note your packing methods, as insurers may assess packaging quality when processing claims.

Most processed food and standard Bottled drinks are shipped in standard dry vans as long as you protect from temperature extremes. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on temperature limits, especially for oil-based dry food, and planning transit to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be stored in a temperature-controlled environment to prevent spoilage during transit. Proper ventilation is also important to avoid moisture accumulation, which can affect the integrity of the packaging. Additionally, securing the cargo to prevent shifting is crucial to maintain product safety.

Since both Jacksonville and Baltimore are within the United States, there are no international customs requirements. However, all packaged food must comply with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including proper labeling and adherence to safety standards.
