Shipping Processed Food from Miami to New York via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive snacks Requires waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding silica gel and using “Keep Dry” labels on all Packaged groceries shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You may ship Snacks and beverages together if every unit is properly cushioned and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using Dividers for Bottled drinks so that any leak does not damage surrounding packaged groceries.

Most international shipments of processed food Require 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 Proof of origin, especially for Bottled drinks.

For processed food with medium fragility and mixed Snacks and beverages, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to accurately declare values of your Packaged groceries and Document packaging standards, as insurers may assess packaging quality when processing claims.

Most shelf-stable food and standard Bottled drinks are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on Maximum storage temperature, especially for Chocolate snacks, and planning transit to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food should be properly sealed and stored in a temperature-controlled environment during ocean transport to prevent spoilage. It's important to ensure that the cargo is loaded in a way that minimizes movement and damage during transit.

Documentation required includes a bill of lading, food safety certificates, and any necessary customs declarations, even though both locations are within the United States. Compliance with FDA regulations is also essential for packaged food shipments.
