Shipping Bottled Drinks from Manila to Ningbo via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive Dry food necessitates waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding silica gel and using moisture-warning labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You Can ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if every unit is properly cushioned and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using cell partitions for liquid items so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding Snacks.

Most international shipments of Ambient food typically need itemized invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you could be asked for manufacturer declarations and certificates of origin, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For Packaged food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to accurately declare values of your snacks and record how goods are packed, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most Ambient food and standard snacks are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on temperature limits, especially for sensitive beverages, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be kept in a controlled environment to prevent spoilage. It should be stored in containers that protect against moisture and temperature fluctuations during the ocean freight journey. Proper packaging and labeling are essential to ensure compliance with both Philippine and Chinese regulations.

Shipments of packaged food require compliance with Chinese food safety standards, which include obtaining necessary import permits and ensuring that products are registered with the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GACC).
