Shipping Snacks from Naples to Port Everglades via Ocean Freight

Moisture-sensitive shelf-stable food necessitates waterproof protection such as poly bags inside sturdy outer cartons. Our team suggests adding Desiccant packs and using “Keep Dry” labels on all ambient food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You are allowed to ship shelf-stable food with drinks together if every unit is properly cushioned and bottled drinks are placed at the bottom of the carton. We recommend using Dividers for beverages so that any leak does not damage surrounding dry food.

Most international shipments of packaged groceries typically need itemized invoices listing full product descriptions, HS codes, and values. Depending on the destination and type of snacks, you might also need Health certificates and Proof of origin, especially for beverages.

For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed ambient food and drinks, most shippers choose comprehensive cargo cover that includes spoilage and contamination. Be sure to Declare the full value of your Packaged groceries and note your packing methods, as insurers may assess 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. We recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on Maximum storage temperature, especially for oil-based dry food, and planning transit to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food should be stored in a temperature-controlled environment to prevent spoilage during ocean freight. It is essential to ensure that the packaging is robust to withstand the maritime conditions and to avoid contamination from seawater or humidity.

All packaged food shipped from Italy to the United States must comply with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, including proper labeling, ingredient disclosure, and adherence to safety standards.
