You may ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if all items are properly cushioned and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using cell partitions for beverages so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding dry food.

Most international shipments of processed food typically need detailed invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you might also need Health certificates and certificates of origin, especially for beverages.

For processed food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, insurance providers typically recommend comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to Declare the full value of your snacks and note your packing methods, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most shelf-stable food and standard snacks Can be shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you protect from temperature extremes. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on temperature limits, especially for oil-based dry food, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be stored in a temperature-controlled environment during transit to maintain quality and prevent spoilage. Additionally, proper packaging is essential to protect against moisture and physical damage during ocean freight.
