Shipping Processed Food from Nansha to Rio Grande via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food necessitates moisture-resistant inner packaging such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding silica gel and using clear handling labels on all Packaged groceries shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You are allowed to ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if all items are properly cushioned and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. Our logistics team recommends using separate inner boxes for Bottled drinks so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding packaged groceries.

Most international shipments of packaged groceries typically need detailed 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 Bottled drinks.

For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, insurance providers typically recommend comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to accurately declare values of your beverages and Document packaging standards, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most processed 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 heat sensitivity, especially for Chocolate snacks, 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 prevent spoilage. It is important to ensure that the containers are sealed properly to avoid contamination and maintain shelf stability. Additionally, cargo must be loaded and unloaded carefully to prevent damage.

Shipments of packaged food from China to Brazil must comply with Brazilian health regulations, including obtaining necessary import permits and certifications from the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture. Documentation such as a phytosanitary certificate and a certificate of origin may also be required to ensure compliance with local laws.
