Shipping Snacks from Nansha to Denver via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive snacks necessitates waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Most shippers recommend adding drying agents and using “Keep Dry” labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You may ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if every unit is properly cushioned and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. Most carriers recommend using Dividers for liquid items so that any leak does not contaminate 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 could be asked for free-sale certificates and Proof of origin, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For processed food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to list realistic replacement values of your Packaged groceries and record how goods are packed, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most shelf-stable food and standard snacks are shipped in non-refrigerated transport as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. Most carriers recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on Maximum storage temperature, especially for sensitive beverages, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food should be stored in a temperature-controlled environment during transit to maintain quality. It is important to ensure that the cargo is properly secured and protected from moisture and contaminants throughout the journey. Additionally, the packaging must meet international standards to prevent spoilage.

Shipments of packaged food must comply with both Chinese export regulations and U.S. import regulations, including obtaining the necessary permits and certifications. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S. requires that all food products meet safety standards and that proper labeling is adhered to, including ingredient lists and allergen information. Additionally, a prior notice must be submitted to the FDA before the food arrives in the U.S.
