Most shippers recommend adding drying agents and using clear handling labels on all processed food shipments, especially when moving through humid or coastal routes.

You are allowed to ship Snacks and beverages together if all items are securely packed and beverages are placed at the bottom of the carton. Most carriers recommend using separate inner boxes for liquid items so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding packaged groceries.

Depending on the destination and type of beverages, you could be asked for free-sale certificates and origin documentation, especially for animal-derived ingredients.

For shelf-stable food with medium fragility and mixed Snacks and beverages, insurance providers typically recommend all-risks freight insurance that includes damage from moisture and breakage. Be sure to list realistic replacement values of your beverages and record how goods are packed, as insurers may evaluate packaging quality when processing claims.

Most processed food and standard Bottled drinks are shipped in standard dry vans as long as you keep them within labeled storage temperatures. Most carriers recommend checking manufacturer guidelines on heat sensitivity, especially for sensitive beverages, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.
