Shipping Snacks from Paranagua to San Juan via Ocean Freight

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

You may 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 cell partitions for beverages so that any leak does not contaminate surrounding dry food.

Most international shipments of processed food 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 certificates of origin, especially for beverages.

For processed 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 snacks and note your packing methods, 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 protect from temperature extremes. Our team recommends checking manufacturer guidelines on temperature limits, especially for oil-based dry food, and scheduling moves to minimize exposure to very hot or very cold environments.

Packaged food should be transported in a manner that protects it from moisture and contamination, particularly during ocean freight. Proper packaging materials should be used to ensure that the products remain intact and shelf-stable throughout the journey.

Shipping packaged food from Paranagua to San Juan requires compliance with both Brazilian export regulations and Puerto Rican import regulations. Necessary documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and any required health or safety certifications to meet local food safety standards.
