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 manufacturer declarations and origin documentation, especially for Bottled drinks.
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 accurately declare values of your beverages and Document packaging standards, 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. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on heat sensitivity, especially for Chocolate snacks, and planning transit to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.
