You may ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if every unit is properly cushioned 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 damage surrounding Snacks.

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

For processed food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. 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 snacks are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you protect from temperature extremes. 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.
