Shipping Snacks from Mexico City to Manzanillo via Ground Freight

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

You are allowed to ship dry food and bottled drinks together if all items are securely packed and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using Dividers for Bottled drinks so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding packaged groceries.

Most international shipments of packaged groceries will 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 Proof of origin, especially for Bottled drinks.

For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed dry food and bottled drinks, insurance providers typically recommend all-risks freight insurance that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to accurately declare values of your Packaged groceries and Document packaging standards, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most processed food and standard beverages are shipped in standard dry vans as long as you protect from temperature extremes. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on Maximum storage temperature, especially for Chocolate snacks, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food should be transported in a climate-controlled environment to maintain quality. It’s important to ensure that the packaging is intact and that the food is stored securely to prevent damage during transit.

The shipment requires a commercial invoice, a packing list, and compliance with health and safety regulations. Additionally, any necessary permits for food products should be included to ensure regulatory compliance during transport within Mexico.
