Shipping Dry Food from Mombasa to Salvador via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food demands waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding silica gel and using clear handling labels on all processed 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 properly cushioned and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using separate inner boxes for liquid items so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding Snacks.

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 snacks, you might also need manufacturer declarations and origin documentation, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed dry food and bottled drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to accurately declare values of your beverages and record how goods are packed, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most processed food and standard beverages are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you protect from temperature extremes. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on heat sensitivity, especially for sensitive beverages, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food must be stored in a controlled environment to prevent spoilage during the ocean freight journey. It is essential to ensure that the cargo is secured properly to avoid movement and damage during transit. Additionally, the packaging should be robust enough to withstand humidity and saltwater exposure during the voyage.

Shipments of packaged food from Kenya to Brazil must comply with both countries' customs regulations, including necessary documentation such as health certificates, import permits, and proof of origin. In Brazil, the food products must adhere to the regulations set by ANVISA (National Health Surveillance Agency) for food safety and labeling standards.
