Shipping Processed Food from Jebel Ali to Paranagua via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive snacks demands waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding drying agents and using clear handling labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You may ship dry food and bottled drinks together if every unit is properly cushioned and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. Most carriers recommend using separate inner boxes for liquid items so that any leak does not damage surrounding dry food.

Most international shipments of processed food will require itemized invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you could be asked for free-sale certificates and origin documentation, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For processed food with medium fragility and mixed dry food and bottled drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to list realistic replacement values of your beverages and record how goods are packed, as insurers may assess packaging quality when processing claims.

Most shelf-stable food and standard beverages are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. Most carriers 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 should be properly sealed and stored in temperature-controlled containers to prevent spoilage during the ocean freight journey. It is essential to ensure compliance with both UAE and Brazilian food safety regulations, and to maintain appropriate humidity levels to preserve product quality.

Required documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and health certificates or phytosanitary certificates, depending on the specific type of packaged food. Additionally, customs clearance documents must be prepared in accordance with Brazilian import regulations.
