When shipping from Jiangmen, China to Laem Chabang, Thailand, prepare for significant delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Build in extra buffer days for port operations and arrange flexible routing options during peak rainfall (June-September) and typhoon months (August-October). Plan around critical cut-off times during the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February) to reduce congestion risks.

Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food demands waterproof protection such as laminated liners inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding Desiccant packs and using clear handling labels on all ambient food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.
You are allowed to ship dry food and bottled drinks together if every unit is securely packed and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using separate inner boxes for beverages so that any leak does not damage surrounding packaged groceries.
Most international shipments of packaged groceries will require itemized 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 beverages.
For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed dry food and bottled drinks, most shippers choose all-risks freight insurance that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to Declare the full value of your beverages and note your packing methods, as insurers may assess packaging quality when processing claims.
Most processed food and standard beverages are 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 oil-based dry food, and planning transit to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.
Packaged food should be stored in a dry and cool environment during transit to prevent spoilage. Proper sealing and packaging are essential to maintain the integrity of the products. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the containers are suitable for ocean freight to avoid contamination from seawater or humidity.
Regulatory requirements include obtaining necessary export permits from Chinese authorities and ensuring compliance with Thailand's food safety regulations, which may involve health certificates and inspections. Importers in Thailand must also adhere to labeling requirements and may need to provide documentation proving the product's safety and quality standards.
